The twinkling sea
clarifies our fears of adults,
are we responsible for these seals
who quarrel at the end of pontoon?
Have we to blame us
for being here?
Lost on this sunny pier.
Baked by the sun,
the seals clear us
of the town arrogance.
The sinful sun
laughs at us,
at our urban guilts.
We are the guests of the bay,
guests of the air which we inhale,
of some wheat which we eat.
We are the guests of our thoughts,
Let’s sit a moment
in the smiling bay.

Yo Yann,

The seals seem to enjoy our man made structures. They aren’t really quarrelling, they're out there having a party.

This is a nice poem.

I wrote again this one, a poem is never closed

The twinkling sea
clarifies our fears of seducing,
are we responsible for these seals
who quarrel at the end of pontoon?
Have we to blame us
for being jealous of the sea?
Lost on this sunny pier.
Baked by the sun,
the seals clear us
of the town arrogance.
The sinful sky
laughs at us,
at our urban guilts.
We are the guests of the bay,
guests of the air which we inhale,
of some wheat which we eat.
We are the guests of our thoughts,
Let’s sit a moment
in the smiling bay.

As this passed me by I am happy I could now read both your versions, dear Yann. I love very much the images you evoked and the reflections of your brilliant mind.

Significant and well written.

Love,
Margherita
