a breeze teases my senses with warm salty air then I know the sea is speaking assembling stories of sailors’ lost children’s sandcastles and misty morning walks lying scantly on the patio the seagulls address myths from times of Greece hoping that the pelicans will soon understand during their continuous hunting expedition looking down from pitted beams fathers skipping work gaze wondrously as their newborns coo for attention sitting on the sand underneath the gauze of mothers skirt waiting for the tide to challenge the moon and gathering sand dollars in tiny fingers while I live these moments in my eyes wondering why the sea has taken my youth leaving this lady alone by the ocean |

It's a beautiful piece of poetry, but I'm a lousy 'guesser' ... doesn't mean you didn't write it well ... just means that I'm a lousy guesser~ But ... gonna kick it back to the top  for some more folks to take a looksee at it~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Is it 'The Lady' ? ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Well, now it is going to look as tho' I got the idea it was The Lady from reading the replies!  In actuality, I honestly did think it was The Lady when I read this exquisitely picturesque piece of writing.Thoroughly enjoyed ~ and very well done! Hugs to each of you! Linda |

Dominique~ SEE !!! I told you I'm a lousy guesser !!! Then I made up my mind to 'figger it out' ... ah, it came to me ...~ The piece is lovely and you definitely captured the ink of The Lady's quill~ AND ... SweetEarthyOne~ quote:NAH !!!  Who could possibly refute the word of an  ~*Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
