Elaine George Poet Personification

The Wave

.                      Beneath a brilliant sapphire blue and cloudless canopy,
                           dipping swaying dreamily adrift in a fantasy,
                shimmering in  the noon daylight she dances with the breeze,
                  until she breaks on the shore and is swallowed by the sea.


                                                  ~~~~~~~~~

Andrea Dietrich July 8, 2011 at 7:51 PM wow, I just adore that final line. hey, it's also using the word "swallowed" like in my river poem. Something about that cool word at the end of a water poem! congrats on the HM.

Andrea Dietrich January 29, 2011 at 5:44 PM I will start working my way backwards from this page 9 toward the front now that you are back with us, Lainie. I really liked the last line, telling how she is swallowed by the sea in the end. Nice description of a wave for personification. I am sure you are very prolific too, my dear. If not for contests, I would be very uninspired and hardly writing at all!! Luv, Andrea
