dark gray sea tosses
lines of white caps
defining wave and sky
as thunder rumbles
gentle rain still falls
hardest passed on
sands now brown
mud comes visiting
and through the gloom
brightness flashes
children laugh and smile
dancing barefoot
white teeth gleaming
like the caps of the waves
showing the darkness
it has no power here
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

The white caps, foreshadowing the children's teeth...very nice. The callback to the waves is how you put it, but...I don't know which it is.
ReplyDeleteYou managed to write about dancing in the rain and mud and teeth as well. Good job!
