And when it comes,
the new creation,
seedless grapes,
our last mutation;
perseverance bleeding pride,
dry moon
stops pulling in the tide,
wild ocean
sinks
inside
the floor,
fire
dances saltless shore.
And love will plead with God
to save,
at least, the whisper
in the wave.

I think this is absolutely beautiful. Though, I should wonder how it ties in with my contest's theme?

Well I just thought it was a calm and peaceful sip of resolve...
to not panic and think about what could be saved

Fair point. I stand corrected.

Hopefully we have a month or so before this "tea-party"..but who really knows these things...

"This is mad good," is exactly what I said out loud after reading this. Very nice work. The imagery is there, and the poem speaks in such great volume that it literally seemed to surround me.
Great job. Good luck in the contest.

This is more poetic then I most of the poems entered into the contest more of a serene look. Wonderfully said.

I'm getting a most curious feeling of déjà vu; I've read this poem before. In fact, it's like visiting a very old friend. I loved this poem then, and I still love it.
Your words paint an extremely vivid picture of the world ending. Lines 5 to eleven, especially. The rhyme only enhances the images, making them all the more powerful.
Thanks for entering.

Great form, I agree with Amythest that it contributes. Gives the effect of being in dark waters with your words.
'and love will plead with God... to save at least the whisper in the wave'
Brilliant... -
Merry Meet,
this is very good. Nice form in way it was written. That really contributed to effect of the poem -
This is a great read, well done, I like the form you put it in and the small but significant words and phrases you used.
Good luck and thanks for entering.
