Sea-change

by Saerelune   Jun 23, 2013


Darkness pins, the sun
it splits
a flight of light,
but we tread on
too soon
Tequila tails, hiccuping heels
on the carpet, and we seem sleeves
we seam sleeves, like scars
soaked in salt, but the sea is far
too sultry, dare I say still
sluggish on sand
whilst strangers savour
an oyster trail, a pearl
of steam posing at the shell
of an ear, like a seamaid
it ebbs
at the Arctic sculpture
it pines
for the umbrae beneath
the split
you spit
a lemony seed, like broken
mosaic, and we're mouths
at sea, we see
sea-change

    The Huntress took me on a captivating tongue twisting adventure of words and I truly love this piece from her. What a thrilling read! Full of romance and elegantly structured lines, I cant begin to express how beautiful this piece is... A must read by all!

    I want to highlight the ending lines because this is where I got lost in a sea of pearled words and simply fell in love with this poem!

    "like a seamaid
    it ebbs

    it pines

    the split
    you spit
    a lemony seed, like broken
    mosaic, and we're mouths
    at sea, we see
    sea-change "

    The Huntress has left me speechless with this piece, love it!

    This reminded me of the Red Lobster commercial at the end where they say "we sea food differently" lol.. I adore puns and when people use them to create something so beautiful and precious like this write!

    The images were anything short of ordinary and this poem calmed me- I liked how it kind of had a rhythm, at least when I was reading it, I pictured waves rushing back and forth.

    Great job! :]

    OMG! I love the use of pun and clever play on words in this poem! I had to catch my breath after reading this poem due to its syntax and well-patterned word stressed, thanks to these for now, this poem has a much natural flow and smooth rhythm.

    What's funny is the absence of period in the end. Now, do you feel happy when you torture your readers like this? Lol

    I also love the use of alliteration, homonym and extended metaphors in this clever and impressive piece of yours.
