Inspired by Writers Island prompt 25 Unleash
and this wondrous image entitled “Lost Boat” from Spanish artist Silvia
and this wondrous image entitled “Lost Boat” from Spanish artist Silvia
Unleash that vast ocean of you andpour yourself onto my waiting shore.
I welcome the crashing waves of you,
eager for your salt water onslaught
to irrigate the parched land of me.
Too long on shore, I have become dry,
no rushing water or gulls cry in my dreams
until you arrived, with your fathomless depths
and the tidal wave I see in your blue green eyes.
Perhaps a follow on from this one written yesterday.

Superb and wonderful...I like the hidden metaphor...You followed the prompt precisely, more like you were explaining the picture...nice work.

Like you, Susannah, I love water! Joyously written!
Susannah, I can feel your love of the ocean in the images you share in this well-expressed poem.
Wow! I love how you brought the image alive in such a personal manner. You made it breathe and move. Thank you,
