Flowers By The Sea Poem by William Carlos Williams
Flowers By The Sea
Rating: ★2.6
When over the flowery, sharp pasture's
edge, unseen, the salt ocean
lifts its form-chicory and daisies
tied, released, seem hardly flowers alone
but color and the movement-or the shape
perhaps-of restlessness, whereas
the sea is circled and sways
peacefully upon its plantlike stem
