Day 28 of OctPoWriMo takes a little different slant. The prompt challenge for today is Sea Shells. There were two suggestions for the poem format, a Monorhyme and Shape Poetry.
I’ve done the monorhyme before but have never tackled a shape poem. So, I took a few liberties, mainly because of the formatting requirements of wordpresse. I tried to take the shape of a shell, but who knows? Anyway, here is Grains of Sand!
Grains of Sand
Grains of
sand warm, gentle
Memories rise sentimental
Waves become inconsequential
Salt air ….. fundamental
In my recollective transcendental
Beach foraging through glistening shell.
Conch, mollusk. None are incidental,
All are treasures to hold. All essential.
Each are a study in ties to the mystical
Oceanic tides that rise and fall. So magical.
You see, this knowing is so … fundamental,
Even a child sees water from womb, it’s classical
Arms of motherly bonds. The pinnacle
Of all the world’s connective miracle,
And understanding our desirable
Beginnings. My dear it’s incredible!
