They'Re Lovers

See how the ocean glides back in to kiss the shore? In my minds eye They have met on this sand floor Many times before With a soft caress on the sly. See how the ocean glides back in to kiss the shore? As birds soar High They have met on this sand floor. He brings shells and driftwood for her to explore Then leaves being shy. See how the ocean glides back in to kiss the shore? Could a lover ask for anymore? She says nigh. They have met on this sand floor Declaring their love as if no one has done it before To any passer by. See how the ocean glides back in to kiss the shore? They have met on this sand floor......

I don't think I have ever read a more beautiful villanelle Bette! It is a difficult form that you have mastered beautifully in your romantic poem. I share a love of nature which is why I love this piece and will put it into my Faves. I had to check out your best poem, and I'm so glad I did. It is very nice to meet you.Aloha, Connie : )

Connie how nice to talk to you again. I am glad I got to meet you on my poem Alien Or Mom. I am so glad you liked this one. We have another thing in common our love of nature. I am glad to be a fave. Thank you for checking it. I hope you have a great day.

This is so creatively written. I was pleasantly lost in reading it. :)

Thank you Heidi. I thought I posted a reply to this e-mail already. I was raised on Cocoa Beach, Florida. To me there is nothing like the ocean. I am so glad you liked it. Thank you for the visit. I will be more aware of making replies from now on.
