Waves
February 23, 2009
Listen.
Do you hear it?
The rolling and crashing
Of waves against the sandy shore?
The sound is so relaxing
And calm.
Look.
Do you see it?
The endless ocean and sky
Rolling into curling waves?
The view is so pretty
And peaceful.
Smell.
Do you smell it?
The tingling of the oceans water
As the breeze carries it to you?
The smell is tangy
And salty.
Touch.
Do you feel it?
The chill and pressure
Of the sea water?
It feels extremely nice
And calming.
Taste.
Do you taste it?
The salty and fishy
Taste in your mouth?
It tastes bitter
And new.

I wonder why no one has commented on this yet.
It's so simple, but i like simplicity.
I adore the way each stanza follows the same pattern and the way you described everything and evoked the senses, brilliant. Just brilliant.
