This is a beautifully written piece of poetry dear Willie! Nothing lasts forever. Everything has a beginning and an end. The volicity just varies.
Thank you for sharing!

I really like this short repetitive poem for the Roaring Sea contest. It is like it is replicating the natural rhythm of the moon-affected water. I once lived by the Gulf of Mexico and then later by the Caribbean Sea. This lovely posting has prompted some wonderful memories.

As are the waves of life. The challenge is to continue making waves that make it to the shore, albeit the end of the wave - just to be followed by another and yet another to fill the continuum. Good read with lots of meaningful implications.

Lovely poetry. However, the font is awkward and pulls our attention away from the poem, instead drawing us to read it. The color of the type is clever, the picture is very compatible, and your writing is good.

Simple, fun to read and reflects life. When one wave dies another is born. I believe it is said one dies so others can live. Your poes reflects the rhythm of life. Have a wonderful holiday.

Aw, Willie, I don't believe anything of yours has come across for review with me yet, but I'm so glad it did just now. The font works really well with the piece and the soothing moments of the waves coming and going is perfectly captured. Sitting on the shore with waves lapping is one of the greatest of simple meditative pleasures. You've captured it very well with this. ~WY

I very much dig this one. It resonates well and leaves a thought deep enough to stir up notions that are inborn within the soul. These notions wait to be plucked and viewed by the 4th eye for they are the commandments of life, ever wavering as they are even. Like smoke from the fire of eternity. I think ha

Is this a metaphor for life? We make what we can of who we are until death comes for us? Ditto for the next person? The sign of a good poem is that it makes its reader think. So, as you can see, you have done a fine job with this one! Good luck in the contest. xo

Hi Willie

I truly enjoyed this one about waves. There is something so innocent about the way a wave with come and simply disappear. Water is so soothing and beautiful. Love it!
