Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

That 3rd day on the Transatlantic cruise, I thought I'd never do this again. The waves settled down and I was okay once more.

Windswept

Love the sea, love the sea
and it’s ebbing and flowing
   whoa…
when you have to peek
over each piqued wave
wind is blowing
Love the sea, love the sea
See that she loves me back
I pop a pill, in fact
I can’t eat, my tummy’s knotting
Love the sea, love the sea
rolling and frolicking
but I’m finding
I can’t watch   the up and down
crashing
even though I’m occupied
and now I’m growing very sleepy
off and dreaming of placid seas
Love the sea, love the sea
See that she loves me back

Bj Legros Kelley May 1, 2026 at 6:36 PM I love the sea, she doesn't love me. I get so sick, this brought me a few memories! I love standing on the shore though, I'm safer there! Kim Rodrigues May 2, 2026 at 4:25 AM Mostly I love the sea, but I was feeling seasick…lol

Paige Hind April 29, 2026 at 9:24 PM Wow, Kim, this is a beautiful image in my mind, ....for a cruise!! You turned it into something else felt all together. <3 Kim Rodrigues May 2, 2026 at 4:25 AM Thank you, my friend!

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 27, 2026 at 10:36 AM Dear Kim, I love how the motion never loses its center, as if the wind itself is taking notes. There’s a kind of sky-wisdom, the kind that arrives only when someone’s been paying attention for a long time. Blessings, Daniel Kim Rodrigues April 27, 2026 at 1:15 PM Thank you, dear Daniel! Blessings!

Judy Ball April 27, 2026 at 6:12 AM Nicely worded and well expressed. I like watching the waves but don't care much for riding them, God Bless, JB Kim Rodrigues April 27, 2026 at 7:26 AM I agree! The ride can be tough at some point. God bless!

Moon Harp April 27, 2026 at 5:57 AM Hi Kim, Yes, I liked that the rolling rhythm matched the roiling of the sea. This poem is very well-crafted for that reason. And I can relate to the sea nausea. Good thing for Dramamine. Moon Harp Kim Rodrigues April 27, 2026 at 7:28 AM Yes, I used Bonine. Thank you!

Valsa George April 27, 2026 at 5:12 AM Hi Kim, agree with what Karen has said below... Yes, I too love the rolling rhythm of your lovely song. Kim Rodrigues April 27, 2026 at 5:37 AM Thank you so much! Hugs!

Karen Jones April 27, 2026 at 5:03 AM This has a rolling rhythm like the sea! Sorry you had to take a pill! Enjoyed reading. Kim Rodrigues April 27, 2026 at 5:36 AM Thankfully only for one day…phew! Hugs and thanks!
