Here I go, inspired by you, to try my hand at yet another form of poetry new to me. I'll do it soon, but this about you-Your poem touched my heart and brought back memories with my love at the beach. The font colors, particularly the yellow, were a stroke of genius.

Comment from June Sargent
This is a beautiful piece highlighting the memories of a love connection formed long ago. Feelings as precious as treasures found and shared on a beach.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
Stunning and beautiful presentation. I love the Gibran quote It brought back my own memories of a late friend who introduced me to his writing. Sad words of what is left of a passionate love affair; the sound of the ocean in a conch shell.
Brilliant.

Comment from karenina
Ah. And if we hold that conch shell up to our ear? Will we hear the sighs of longing or remorse? Maybe both ~ for love rarely has one without the other, it seems. Love your Kahil Gibran quote btw! The swelling tide of past love is pulling me closer to shore...

Hi MariVal,
Your lines flow well and tell the sad story of a broken relationship and how memories keep you from moving on sometimes.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have good rest of the week.

The 'ocean in a conch shell' is a great description. A memory of a lost love and the wonderfulness of the previous love. Thank you for sharing this beautiful presentation with us. It's perfect.

Well written and oh, so sad, Gypsy. I imagine this summer love was brief, but intense. Great job conveying the emotions of this experience. :)

More clever imagery. More lovely colours and gorgeous artwork. The emptiness of the last line is perfect. Well done.

Comment from Lordinajamjar
Gypsy, I just love this tribute to a lost love.
It is true the memories are always with us. When we tap into them and reminisce either by looking at a photo or some other prompt, isn't it almost like listening to the sounds of the sea through a conch shell?
Well done.

In Spain we call them conch. I will add it. I just thought most people wouldn't know. about it.
Thank you very much for the exceptional six stars review. (*÷*)

Comment from Debra White
Hello Gypsy,
I enjoyed reading your poem.
It is beautifully written and presented and the last line is perfect.
Happy memories being triggered by an object.
Memories of 'us' encapsulated inside the seashell - the ocean of those moments having filled it's crevices and the residue still being there and the soundtrack of strolling on the beach being brought to mind by the sound of the waves within.
Best wishes as always, Debra :)
