Tania Kitchin Poet Couplet

The Tranquil Sea

I love to go to the tranquil sea
a special place with treasures for me

I walk the beach, feet touching the sand
feeling the waves tickle as I stand

I spot a beautiful blue starfish 
A sign of luck, I should make a wish

I want to grab it, but leave it be
Let it bring joy for others to see

As I walk away, I see it smile
I know saving its life was worthwhile

I look back, see it wink and now gone
I hope it has safely left, moved on

I realize the lesson today
To admire nature and walk away

Time to head back from the tranquil sea
Elated by what it gave to me

John Watt May 4, 2020 at 4:47 PM Tania, i sure enjoyed reading this. I, too, love the ocean, and had an experience identical to this with a starfish. It was a much better choice to leave it to its environment and enjoy the rich memory of the moment. Congratulations on your win ~ John Tania Kitchin May 4, 2020 at 6:03 PM Thank you John and thank you for your visit!
