Katie-Jayne Boardman Poet Free verse

The Seashore

The seashore lets through cracks of light
And is the cradle of a bird in endless flight
Loss to the bounds of sea and sky 
Plummeting and barreling through invisible doors
Hoping to always reach a higher epiphany of being
The seashore is the entrance way to all of this and more
As I stand with my feet in the sand
And beckon the gods to show me all that they are
The shells made of infinitesimally tiny glittering particles
Open up their eyes and open their souls 
Asking me to trace their loving back into the beginning of time

Judy Ball November 15, 2016 at 12:24 AM Beautifully written with great expression and wonderful imagery this took me back to the shores of my youth when I used to lie in the sand and dream. Great job and a big seven from me. God Bless, JB Katie-Jayne Boardman November 15, 2016 at 12:35 AM Thank you Judy for your great feedback. I'm glad it took you back to your youth.

Chris Green November 10, 2016 at 1:59 PM This is beautiful and so enchanting. And seashore has the east coast written all over it. : ) Really nice. Katie-Jayne Boardman November 15, 2016 at 12:36 AM Yea we just call it the beach as well, but I tend to use some traditional poetic language ;) Chris Green November 10, 2016 at 2:09 PM Ooops, I guess I was a little off there. :) I'm originally from the U.S. east coast and there it is "The Seashore" or "The Shore", but every where else I have been it is either 'The Coast" or "The Beach" Though, I've never been to NZ. Katie-Jayne Boardman November 10, 2016 at 2:03 PM Thanks Chris! I'm from NZ, cool that it sounds like east coast
