Aloha,
Here is another morning photo of a flower near the beach. The stark diversity in color stimulates our vision. Great writers cause their readers to "feel something" by using specific detail. How a writer does this is style. Let's write with this in mind today.
Enjoy!
Genre: Environmental Poetry
Ocean Ordeal
Batter the surf fight wind and wave
One more life left out there to save
As the sea rises above and beyond
Listening in the distance a faint swan song
Go out where the deep waters flow
Swim with dolphins watch the whales blow
See the sea turtles then a sea seal
If the sea survives its ocean ordeal
Get a little deeper in over your head
Vacate the comfort zone go out instead
The tropics will grant your favorite wish
See exotic swims of the last little fish
Objects of desires are good little deeds
Rip at the heart of invasive weeds
Endangered species will be freed by you
Capture the ocean then turn it back blue
Make a splash catch a wave
Go out and find something to save
Tender togetherness will have its greatest appeal
When the sea survives its ocean ordeal
Genre: Blues Rock
Hard Cold Truth
Not a place known for its scenic view
A revolving door with the devoted few
Inspiration arrives and aspiration goes out
So many tears leaves so little doubt
Everybody knows they're packing the juice
When a little soft lie brings the hard cold truth
Little soft lies have a life of their own
Painted in a world and blemished to the bone
Somebody nudge me away from the darkness
Far far away from this little Loch Ness
Wise me up far beyond my youth
Little soft lie bring the hard cold truth
A little soft lie is never easy to see
But they pack a punch eventually
You can bet your heart it'll be on time
That hard cold truth coming down the line
Hard cold truth you wait and see
Hard cold truth eventually
Hard cold truth be on time
Little soft lie bring it down the line
