Stalwart sandcastles
guard against attack from the sea
though the ebbing tide
cares not as it travels.
sea nymph falling prey
to harsh world realities

Inspired by the Painting of Vincent Van Gogh
"Fishing Boats On The Beach at Les Saintes"
sky stunning sapphire, sand spectacular amber, sail-boats snoozing snug...
Shells on the beach after a rain.
Carved monoliths.
NB: Inspired by Suzanne Delaney’s contest and subsequent blog (3-29-2023). This form arose from the oral tradition of “call and response.” In the rhythm of their work and perhaps in the spirit of a game or to relieve boredom, people would call out to each other. The first speaker called out a line that contained an image. A second speaker replied using a second image. This second image was meant to function as an elaboration or metaphor of the first. No titles, no particular rhyme or syllabic scheme.
The Sea of Fog - A Poem Inspired by the famous painting "Wonderer Above Sea of Fog" by Caspar David Friedrich
Mystic mountains all around,
As a sea of fog is abound
The wanderer looks to the view ahead,
Standing tall, no fear or dread
The sea of fog, a dream-like sight,
Only letting in just enough light
Mystic energy all surrounds,
Spiritual sense can be found
The wanderer cannot see what’s below,
The choices there cannot be seen so
The sea of fog hides what’s down so deep,
To uncover the truth you must take a leap
This painting so nice, so full of wonder,
An adventure awaits for those who go under
Whistle... and I'll come to you...
Through the sea, across the land
And with my mittens,
Warm your hand
[Inspired by reading "S.O.S. Titanic" by Eve Bunting. Read it to see.

"The sounds of Earth is the music of my soul."
Birds sing tweet~tweet
The ocean waves ring,
After singing they are ready to eat
Earth Sings In The Key Of E.
Volcanoes erupt with a bang and a swing,
The earth sounds so very sweet
Last night the rain did sing.
Living on earth can be a real treat
Beautiful earth sounds can pull at my heart string,
Listen for the wind through the wheat
Earth Sings In The Key Of E.

Do you wish to hold me?
We can drift on the sea my love,
under the stars above.
You were my lovely dove so free,
who captivated me.
I thought I’d never be so glad
and still inside so sad
For the love we both had, is gone.
As we approach the dawn
I will think, “Once upon a time,
you were meant to be mine.”
So now my heart does pine away
Wishing that you would stay
I know that you will say, good bye
Still I will wonder why,
you chose another guy, not me.
Him on shore, me at Sea~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inspired by Brenda Chiri
She introduced me to this new form.
The form is called Luc Bat.

*Inspired by the photo
I hid behind the waterfall
Waiting for you to arrive
In the cove I had found,
From the sea, to stay alive
For many years ago
You captured my heart
Since then, nothing has changed
While we’ve been apart
I know one day this sea
Will bring you here into my arms
In this hiding place, with me
Like a million lucky charms
As the water falls before us
And the sea sings our song
Everything will be made right
From anything gone wrong
And as the sun sets upon us
We will bask in its glow
You will capture my heart again
I know, I just know…

The last students you've loved slip out of the room
Their chairs ghostly, enshrouded, urns overturned
Your eyes survey the wreckage, the whisper-less ruins
Vultures and jackals lips lick, poised for their turns
This sinking treasure, deserted way-station
Empty hull, barren deck -- unrepentant ablation
Once-inspired platform and forum, so grand
Pitilessly metastasized to crumbs of sand
While the gay voices of those
Who've abandoned ship with such glee
Ring out to shores distant, eternal, carefree
Major Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen, KBE, RA, RHA (27 November 1878 – 29 September 1931), was an Irish artist who worked mainly in London. Orpen was a fine draughtsman and a popular, commercially successful, painter of portraits for the well-to-do in Edwardian society, though many of his most striking paintings are self-portraits.
His painting inspired this small verse
Cerulean sea
caresses soft golden sands,
palm trees gently sway
Our footprints get washed away…
summer memories remain
Checked with how many syllables
