Sven's E challenge, part B (still working on part A). To use the letter e in every word of the poem.

Deep entry
The sea races me
before evening's purple blaze.
The sea traces me
between stirred pines' simple shade.
The sea faces me,
empty countenance unmade.
The sea erases me.
Dream extinguished. Swell-stilled jade.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelightful.

There are a million messages,
in a million bottles,
you just have to know
which one to pull out of the ocean.

Everyone -- extended especial .... phew, I can't go on with this "e" in everything thing.

Glad you all enjoyed. And Lori, for someone who writes a lot about the sea, I almost never visit it. (I don't need to -- it's inside )
