Sun Kissed

He shook the hands of time
waved to the ocean,
inhaled the sea.
He kissed the sun good-bye
sank to a new found light.

I still see him drifting.
Humming almost forgotten songs.
I sink in shallow rain,
come up for air
kissed by sun another day.

Dear Lisa,

I enjoyed this as well.  I might not find anything I thought ought to be changed.

Well written.

Hi Lisa,

Just a couple of technicalities here. Your punctuation seems a little inconsistent. I know many free versers avoid it completely but, since you have used some, I think it should be at least consistent, if not correct.

My suggest is, to eliminate your commas entirely.
1) If you leave one on L2 then L1 & L3 need one also.
2) Drop the period at L6 as it leaves L7 a fragment.
3) Drop the comma on L8 also.

At first I was bothered by the change from past to present tense at L8 but I think maybe you wanted that. It probably does make sense.

Thanks for an interesting insight,
Pete
