I gaze in childlike awe at clear blue skies
then run barefoot, carefree on sandy beach
to catch a dream elusive as the tides.

The gulls fly low, its wings I almost reach,
I spread my arms as one who flies with them,
then run barefoot, carefree on sandy beach.

A pebble on the sand, my only gem
to throw against the waves as gulls watch me –
I spread my arms as one who flies with them.

I listen to the crashing surf with glee,
forget my blues as I pick up more stones,
to throw against the waves as gulls watch me.

Sunlit clouds cover my twilight zones,
I soak my toes at water’s edge, shivering,
forget my blues as I pick up more stones.

My dark emotions slowly disappear,
I gaze in childlike awe at clear blue skies,
I soak my toes at water’s edge, shivering,
to catch a dream elusive as the tides

I like this.  This form is new to me.  I'll have to analyze it and see if I can write one.  I just got home this hour after being gone for more than a week.  My email is full and I had to catch up on this corner right away.  Love, Joyce

Dear jjote:  This is quite an unusual form and I like the picures you have created with it.

Thanks, guys. I'm just experimenting. About terzanelles, you could try these sites:

The terzanelle is not an easy form to capture, but you have done it quite well here.  Loved the thoughts woven into this one!
