~* Liquid Bliss ~*

Missing image

 

 

 

 

Prized show of shells hovered anxiously
atop a fallen pillar
and took refuge to recuperate
in protected Sanctuary.

They lounged in liquid bliss,
regained composure, felt refreshed
after long journey traveled against currents.

Conga line constructed by bigger brute
with engine wound up
from fresh air acclimation.

He came from afar to claim a mate

in mist of mayhem.

One after another they huddled
in anticipation, waited for introduction
to get their flippers wet in watered
playing field.

    This poem did a great job with the prompt. I liked the idea of a conga line, it is truely what they looked like. They were huge snappers...bigger than any I have ever seen. I liked:

    He came from afar to claim a mate

    in mist of mayhem.

    Thanks for the entry to the contest.

    Beautiful write, Desire. I liked the part of liquid bliss
    the best. It seemed metaphorical, like describing a feeling of love, but seemed to have imagery in the piece, as well. Like, two people spending time together at a beach or something. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.
