Chasing the wind (Sonanza rhyme)

In the world of nature's primordial game
where ocean is dancing with the wind,
where childrens are part of the earth,
there are no masters and no slaves.

In this world still lives the Sun's flame,
not only a picture on the wall, pinned,
and how dolphin celebrate the wind's birth
together with the ocean's playful, merry waves.

You can chase the wind, the ocean's foam,
you can dance barefoot on the sand,
and wind will leave you with a smile
with a hidden wink of it's curious eyes.

Before it goes away it shall comb
your hair, a soft touch with it's hand
whispered breezy kiss will stay for awhile
between the land, you and the skies.

    Namaste Charishma! Thank you for your time to read and comment my work. This trophy was a great surprise to me but I like it more than others because I won with poem written in my own form. I like to write about nature and it's beauty. More of my poetry is inspired by real place, but sometimes only realted to my imagination.
    I am from Croatia. More about me you can find on my site

    Very beautiful...mesmerising effect!

    WOW Sonja! You have created a picture painting in words here that is a beautiful delight for the eyes to see, for the mind to visualise and for the soul to cherish for a lifetime. I enjoyed this a lot because of your excellent choice of words that created a stunning imagery all throughout the poem. The meter on the poem is superb. It is brilliant that you have created a form of your own and come out with your own beautiful example of the same. I feel you are very inspired by nature. Where are you from? Truly, if this is a real place, one must go do some yoga and meditate here while the wind combs one's hair gracefully Congratulations on the victory!

    I believe that you had a wonderful time with this write. It really shows in the poem. You were very free in this one. I think you were seeing very vividly everything as you wrote. I think this poem was written very quickly...I think it rushed to you. It is very good.

    You are very close Elizabeth. I was born in the one of the most beautiful town next to the sea, at the Adriatic coast, Pula, well known from the Roman times and it's actual Summer Film festival. Sea is a part of my blood, so to speak. Thank you for so nice comment.

    soothing...

    Such a beautiful, embracing sensation you described here.. Brings me to some sandy, quiet beach( where to be found nowadays??) with nothing but a warm summerbreeze caressing your skin and a lonely seagull floating on the wind... Wonderful feeling in these still so cold days!
    Love you lots! Me

    Thank you Abigail. Yes, this is smooth and romantic some way. I know that wind is not always so nice, but this picture and my muse had some different intention.

    you can chase the wind the ocean's foam
    you can dance barefoot on the sand
    and wind will leave you with a smile
    with a hidden wink of it's curious eyes

    this is a romantic and soothing vision, this poem in this new form of yours works very well, it is very smooth and just as you describe the wind being chased with no thunder or sudden moves this poem is the same
    i enjoyed this very much
