Photo-Poetry Challenge : Photo 4
At first I had no idea what to write for this photo. After some drafts about the sea and surf, I settled for this tanka. A lot of words were thrown away.

Beach
sea waves erasing
our retreating footprints
on a slate of sand
to roll back, surprised, as we
held hands and laughed like children.

beautiful combo
loved "slate of sand"
I love how u described the motion of the waves and personified its movements in this way. Your words made it really come alive for me in my mind. Lovely!
floots,
thank you, finally a tanka i'm comfortable with. :)
expiringpoet,
these were some memories from my reckless youth :)
I think this befits the photo.
liz,
thanks.
Very nice .... This is Dsnake made minimalist.
Hi ryan,
thanks for visiting and for your illuminating comments. :)
gilbert,
i'm stingy with words once a while, heh. :)
Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform
you're working with? I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for
something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting
off-topic but I had to ask!
Hi Anon,
I am using Blogger. My main blog 'urban poems' is using their Classic template, but i think new users should use the 'Layout' template. It is much easier and more intuitive to use.
hope this helps. :)
