The Sea Poem by Darlene Walsh

The Sea

Rating: 5.0


Undulating, up and down I flowed
The swelling rhythm never slowed
I played with the watery blue sea
And happily it played back with me

With the infinite horizon deep blue
And the salty breeze constantly blew
Crystal turquise to my toes it swayed
In blazing sun I splashed and played

Seagulls and pelicans drifting by
With a few puffy whites in the sky
White caps rose and washed over me
Come play with me was the sea's plea

As I floated far from the beach
What did the peaceful sea teach
On this day with no stormy clouds
And on the sand lay touristy crowds

From my floating pearch I watched the beach
As today all my sorrows the sea did leach
On other days will return the clouds of storm
And all the problems of life in a swarm

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I went swimming in the ocean in Florida a couple weeks ago and the waves were pretty rough, it was a lot of fun playing in the water and thinking that it was playing back.

An excellent poem that rhymes so well! 'Seagulls and pelicans drifting by With a few puffy whites in the sky White caps rose and washed over me Come play with me was the sea's plea' - a beautiful stanza. This is one of your best poems I have read so far. The poem goes to 'MyPoemList'.

A nice poem on swimming in a sea. It is really a great experience swimming against the waves, you struggling to move ahead and waves trying to push you back. The fight is exhilarating. Nice poem with a sweet flow. Enjoyed thoroughly. Thanks for sharing.

Swimming in the waves is a great experience! We feel that the sea is responding to our sloshing and swimming! The seagulls and pelicans that fly over are indeed a delightful sight. We never get tired of being rocked by the waves! A sweet poem describing a rollicking experience!
