Peaceful Blue, A Gentle Breeze...

by Simple Sensation   Apr 23, 2007


Peaceful blue
A gentle breeze...

A couple hold hands,
And walk down the beach.
Lifeguard sits high
Keeping a clear eye;
Out at sea...
A child screams for joy;
As sand enters her eye.
Father plays in the water -
With the child's brother.
Mother smiles as:
The ocean's beauty
Brings her a sense of calm
A sense of peace...

Peaceful blue
A gentle breeze...

I sit by the ocean;
And let the water
Place a blanket over me.
I gaze at the blue;
And feel the gentle breeze...
I smile, as the water
Place's this blanket over me;
A blanket of a soft calm
A blanket of soft peace...

Peaceful blue
A gentle breeze...

    That was quite a nice and delicate piece. I'm in the mood for nature poems recently.
    I liked the repetition of "Peaceful blue
    A gentle breeze..." It worked nicely.
    I do think the repetition of "places the blanket over me" and "a blanket of..." is repeated a little to much in such a short space at the end of the poem.
    Overall, you really did paint some beautiful imagery in this. One part I wasn't sure about though was "A child screams for joy;
    As sand enters her eye." I'm sorry but if sand went in my eye I'd be screaming in pain and frustration, not joy!!
    A lovely poem though, thanks for sharing.

    Oh and to make up for the other comment, if at anytime you want me to comment on a poem of yours, just PM me and I'll be happy to!!
