You Remember Oceans

I enjoyed reading this winning work. Way to go. Congrats. Sara

Oh Michelle....I do remember oceans and you have brought those memories to bear again. Congratulation on your win!

Congratulations on your win Michelle! :)

Beautiful poetry, Michelle:) congratulations:)

I came back to read this tonight (for your poems have become like old friends to me) and was startled to find I had yet to leave a comment. What I love about this is all the movement: filling wet footprints, cutting slanted cliffs, whales diving under aqua castles (excellent line!) and tides pulling... how this makes me want to go walk on the shore or go on a whale-watching excursion, or jump in and feel that tide. All of these things I love. This poem I love. The last line was the perfect denouement. I hope late is better than never (and I hope they love it at betterthanstarbucks!) Fave.

Michelle, congratulations on your win in my Monchielle contest with your lovely poem ~Constance

Hi Michelle - If i lived by the sea, i would sea gaze all day long, when we go on holiday, the veranda is a stones throw from the promenade and another so much to the sea, but with climate change i think I would prefer to go to the Kruger National Park for the time being anyhow. i see congrats are in order - well done, superb poetry. Happy Easter Day my friend, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Congrats on your winning work. Way to go. Sara

Congratulations on a very well-deserved win dear, Michelle. Blessings

WoW! Michelle, You've penned a well-written and alluring piece about the ocean. I found the last two lines of the final stanza to be well penned and thought-provoking. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day-Alexis

Lovely, Michelle! I’ve wondered if I left an imprint. ;)

A wonderful poem on the oceans and a beautiful entry for the contest. I love the first stanza much....! I see before me the footprints covered with foam and salty brine....

"Under aqua castles,"and on God's good Earth, I celebrate Michelle Faulkner, dreamer, friend, Poet, a Mensch. Great write (always NEstea?!)

The last two lines just scared the living bejeebers out of me. I wonder if it did that to others too. Magnificent stanzas, Michelle. :) Gershon

I love this in its entirety Michelle . There are nothing like oceans .., majestic, calm , stormy , home to our sea life, living breathing cells of time past and future . Love your amazing descriptions and memories explored here. Hugs , Susan :)

I would never forget the ocean dear Michelle, you have written a winner here, splendid !

Another masterful write, Michelle. Your style of writing always so impressive:--Cutting slanted cliffs from The wild ends of the world---In shifting turquoise green Dawn gold to midnight blue. Awesome!

Enjoyed your lovely poem! "You remember oceans" - mesmerizing repeating line - really make me vision the image! BW ~ Mala

True, more of a Mother Ocean than a Mother Earth! Aloha!
