Just a poem, not life. Sea's waves roll in and out rhythmically See a change, now its arrhythmically Tsunami must be the blame or Tommy's sleeping open-mouth snore Amassed tangible wealth did he A missed taking care of health, you see Tsunami life lived now explodes Tommy's health suddenly implodes

Sara, Thanks for your reflections on Baltimore Oriole. Your “Wordplay” poem makes judicious use of extremely clever rhymes. Ingenious imagery and storyline a bonus. Congrats on selection Howard

Hi, Sara. Congratulations on your win. The title nicely sets up the poem. Love the wordplay and sea waves/tsunami metaphor. “Just a poem, not life.” :)
