This poem is about a place near where I live. It is an almost inaccessible place, except for those who are most determined. POWERFUL SERENITY Crests and valleys made of sand Rarely touched by foot or hand Trekked by some and known by few Shrubs and tuft drink only dew. Pelicans wing in graceful flight Seagulls screech and then alight Dullest roar of unseen power Bathing salty hazy shower. Crest on crest and then one more Ocean glimpse next time for sure Bellows now to quickly come Orchestral roar like kettledrum. Crown the summit of final sand Pause; take in the white-capped land Ocean icy with endless shore Invades the senses to the core. Warning but seducing still "Step into me and take your fill" High dash waves in majesty Reverberate serenity. [This message has been edited by linda munday (edited 06-21-2000).] |

There is nothing about this poem that does not border on perfection. What a beautiful piece. The words, tempo, rhymes, pace, syllables, etc etc etc are all on the money. Very pleasurable reading, linda |

You've only written seven in your life? If you were never to write another poem again -- well, that would suck. So keep writing!Mike |
