Meeting Madame Chipmonk, who brought me here to this site.

Love the string you have created.

isn't it amazing how the syllable count can come out in such different shapes

here you have an isoceles triangle when by the count of 5-7-5 one would think it would be more of an oval shape

vivid images with an effervescent feel within the lines

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Beautiful senry Linda.  Well done.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

You are very observant! I, too, was surprised by the triangle shape of the poem and went back and recounted the syllables!
Thank you for your comments.

~ Enjoy your day! ~

And my good fortune of our paths crossing.

Hugs, Marti

Every now and then take a good look at something not made
with hands -- a mountain, a star, the power of the ocean.
There will come to you wisdom,
