Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

Souvenirs De La Mer

Soothing sliding silvered tides, fields of verdant; rolling co-inside..'

Beards of algae flow on wrecks, phosphorescence guilds the whitecap in flecks,

As a mirror shattered myriad shines, to uneven waves that crash in; times..'

Un-counted amounts of wash elapsed, endless etchings have surfs out; scratched..

I see the glimpses I hear that noise,  in awe; I observe the power and poise,

Atlantic grey-green, Indian serge, pacific hued, I need to re-visit & become re-clued

The saline reeks, there are nets of fish, tootling tugs, low tide rippling in meek.'

Memories crowds... Of golden sands..' Ice cream, picnic baskets; beer and bands..'

Julia Ward May 20, 2015 at 7:26 AM End of lines don't rhyme... That's where the rhyme has to be to account for the form, not in the middle of a line.
