Clock hands catch missing time
As a new days looms and knits
Into a sunrise on the horizon
The ocean wears white caps
Of tidings from faraway places
Carried by favoured currents
Fishermen stands on rock shelves
Arranged according to daring
Joined to the sea by flimsy rods
Surfers dart across waves of emotion
Buoyed by the sheer joy
Of riding as one with the ocean

Love the thought of this line!
Oh, to live beside the sea!

I think Jennifer and Tina
I think Jennifer and Tina have said it all. Great lines, wish I could do the same with a short story. I live by the water too, close to the docks and ferry terminals, where 17 cruise ships and liners call home. It's not that picturesque, but plenty to see. Keep on writing.

I like it except that it sounds unfinished. Could you round it off by versifying the comment you made to Jennifer on December 10, 2008?
