In shades of sea green
I dress my body in silks of the ocean's blue
Dipped in azure shells and crystal blue persuasion
Lift me to Neptune's gaze
Catch me in drift wood
Let me sit by the ocean's edge dipping my toes into the foam
For I am a child of the sea
Salty tastes alight my soul
Salsa-sea Verde to comfort me
Trip into the deep
Taste me
Swim beyond the horizon and look into my world
Search between the sky and water's breaking the shoreline
I will be there, immersed in shades of verdant plumes
Ask me to swim the deepest ocean
Delve into the lushness of the oceans' divine
In shades of sea~green, dressed in silks of time

Very good. I love the background (fav. shade of green) and it suits the poem very well. The poem itself remind me of a poem I did for my gf and her relation to the sea. It also reminds me of the times when I lived close to a beach. Those were nice days when I could lay on the beach in the peace of the waves and birds.
Sorry for rambling. Excellent poem. -
Gill, this flows like a gentle current in a peaceful stream.
between the sky and water's breaking the shoreline
I will be there, immersed in shades of verdant plumes... these lines are marvelous. Your playground is the entire sea.
For some reason it makes me think about the class discussion in anthropology class today about humans and dolphins being the only mamals that have sex for recreation.

Oh my...you're a wet Mexican from outer space! I suspected as much.
No, this is awesome. It's so vivid and all of the colors and pleasures of the sea wash down the page as I read it. This is what I call a pretty poem. Really visual and the strength in the words, though quiet carry an undeniable power. Like the roar of waves in the distance. -

enchanting,magical,calls my heart
Gil~ Sorry, I've been out of the loop most of the summer. It's been way to long, since I've had opportunity to read for a couple hoours straight. I feel Blessed to capture this time. Spending a few minutes with your work is soulfood for my heart. Enchanting,magical, full of emotions. You captured the heart of a flatlander that loves the ocean. The perfect environment for me, tropical paradise of Mexico and the Caribbean. I went down memory lane this afternoon.Last April and luxury of Cancun. In my humble opinion: this is my very favorite of all your work. I have had the opportunity to read. Teal, picture and black background pull all together so, nicely. I think, I can fall asleep reading this... Listening to my seascape, Ocean Tranquility CD. Refreshing break from drought, prairie fires, flip-floppy weather of early fall. (P.S. Dear friend, how do I move 1 husband, beef cattle herd, 125 plus horses to: my ideal retirement? A small ocean bunglow where 80's are normal? Fat chance, right? Thought you'd see the humor in the major dilemmia way up north!) Thank you for this masterpiece and refreshment. God Bless YOU and Tillybud2!
(I apologize for any typos, arthritic hands, dislike fall)
