Stranger on the Shore

This early morning photo of Tybee Island beach, caught the silhouette of a stranger in the surf. I like it even more for his presence there.
Write any form of poetry inspired by the picture, or a piece of music from the sixties, by the same name as the contest.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 1
  • Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 500, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for some wonderful poetry! I know now, the angst of having suitors knocking on the doors of my emotions with offerings of candy and flowers in their hands. How does one choose! anyway, the Englishmen have my heart and I will just be a fickle female with the top three. Thanks again, I loved every entry.

    To the contest-setter, all, and any.

    Try the link below and listen to Acker Bilk playing "Stranger On The Shore", firstly live in 1988, then wait for info on his recorded version accompanied by coastal visuals. Superb music track by a superb clarinettist. Might even inspire you. Cheers.
