Sea Display #cinquo #ekphrastic

vision
colorful starfish, golden pearls
carefully placed random
sand and seashells
display

This was written for Colleens weekly poetry challenge. This week was to be an Ekphrastic based on the photo provided by Annette Rochelle Aben. I chose to write cinquo.

I love your poem so beautifully inspired by the display.
It is derived from the sea and artistically and casually displayed.
Sure the stars have been colour e handed.

I have done seascape displays myself, it is fun.

The person obviously did take some time and thought to make the seascape. Thanks.

    Ah, OK. I read through the list until one syllable scheme jumped out, and that’s what I did :)

“carefully placed random” is great! And, no matter how we try, we never can get it to look as random as nature does.

For some dd reason, no matter how hard we try, you can always tell things were touched by a human. Thanks, glad you enjoyed.
