The Ship

dancing golden light: 
the morning sun reflected
on the bright blue sea; 
and a blue ship sails on it,
its gold sails catching the breeze.

I came to YOUR last poem and saw that I'd already seen it. This beauty here. Guess what?? I just now saw that they have TAKEN DOWN all my first poems posted here. Nobody can access them all except me. I do not like this change because I used to look for poems according to "form" in the list of all my poems. But with 400 of my poems no longer listed by "form" I can only see the last 200 in their particular forms category. this really sucks. It makes me so annoyed, Jack!!!

Wonderful, wonderful. I just read at the contest page that these were supposed to be "beautiful" Dang, I think my Macaw poem might not be considered beautiful!!
