Hi Iza, this is a very nice poem. You put your heart into that one. I think I know exactly what this one is about and that is why I have to say I think the last line is my favorite. Great job, my friend. Love, Debi

Iza, I bet you forgot you asked me to write you a poem and I asked that maybe you check at least once a day in case I had questions. So I did but I did the best I could on it even though I couldn't get a hold of you. Anyway, please read your poem and let me know if you are happy. It is one of my own inventions. I hope you like it, I put my heart into it and hoping it will make you smile.
They are called Merry-go-Rhymes that I changed it to "Meowry-go-Rhymes for Iza". is the title.
Thanks and I hope to talk to you soon, my dear friend. Love, Debi

It's always a pleasure to read what a fellow beach lover has to say and see a picture that puts me in the mood, which doesn't take much. Maybe it's time to have a little beach hut bar and food shop. :-) Thanks for sharing.

We'd have fun, but I don't know how much time we'd have to write. :-)

A poem that expresses the photograph perfectly. I especially enjoyed this line in your work. :That life is worth living--one more time, for me. Nicely composed.

This is a very nicely written poem about the ocean photo that you shared with us and I very much enjoyed listening to it. It flows very well when it read aloud. Patricia.

I like the wave like rhythm that underscores the theme, and you have this great sense of ablution or transcendence in this poem, the idea of being washed clean of past anxieties and challenges, and starting over with a fresh mind set. estory

This poem, Ocean Motion, presented with two AABB-rhymed quatrains, allows that the power available should work for us by cleansing and mending us. ...

What a good post Iza, my confidence in you is well founded, one has to learn to be a student of allowing themselves to apprehend and embrace the role of a scribe, and you are doing exactly that, well done, blessings Roy

Beautiful, Iza!
The ocean -- what a wonderful place to escape to and drink in all the peace and solitude it offers. My favorite place. Yes, that's my prayer - let me sit and listen to the waves like a lullabye.
Smiles abd hugs, Carol
