Transparency: a poem
blue-green
waves break
over

the sun
sets behind

the flash
shines through

me.

transparent
wave
rolls my
heart

I am drowning

in the floating
sea

the wind
beats
the wave

shines the sun.
my
heart

you see
it clearly

you have left your mark

those who can
will
see

I am
the
transparency

1. Lovely, Peggy. Very evocative.
The sea imagery is in tune with the emotional flotsam suggested. I like it.

2. My dear vixengrl...
I love it when my metaphors are consistent...

A recent photo of a cresting wave that I took inspired me...the sun shone through it...

Thank you so much!

5. Evocative.
Each poem you create is a special moment of time captured for eternity.
