Notes About The Poem

Thanks for your lovely suggestions, Kirk ~

Listen to poem:

The Shape of Water - Version 2

I can taste the smell of water
as I near the ocean coast

I remember the feel of it against my skin
and the warm summer days in early morn

but most of all I love to
touch the shape of water

and as far as I can see
to hear its waves in motion

from vicious to peaceful its fickle swaying
moods at times violent at times playful

Delice Arleen Skelly July 26, 2021 at 2:18 AM The ocean is always a good subject for poetry. It enables the writer to create images we can relate to. I am lucky we live near the sea so am familiar with the ocean's fickle nature. Nice one..Delice Line Gauthier July 26, 2021 at 3:35 AM Sounds like a lovely place to live, Delice ~
