Spears of white
from oceans might
Hides from sight
the fragile sea Sprite

Am I right in thinking that the Title must include the prompt word and that the title added to the word count of the poem should equal 13?

OCEANS
Spears of White
From Oceans might
Hides from sight
Lonely sea sprite

An ocean wind burns
then cools her heart
Treasures now spent
Loves forgotten

The only thing I love
about your absence is that
it's all mine.

The newlyborn cried for milk.
The mother had empty breasts
and blue lips.

I'm told to describe you
in thirteen words. I can, with one:
Past.

Outside the children's
designer clothing store,
stood a barefoot toddler,
begging for pennies.

Forgot your yellow
shawl on my bed years ago,
still smells like you.

Two lovers walked together
into the new year. Only
he could get out.

Against a wall,
she thought of breaking through,
and he, of breaking up.

Breathing under water
wasnt my choice,
but with you
I’ll do anything.

Waves turn on a knife
Causing joy or strife

Ocean side bride
Cast me aside
Gone with the tide
Well I tried ..

You called me
from open oceans,
I found myself
lost in the horizon

Under my moon-

floating eyes
left abandoned
as tears fill the Ocean.

Tracing a wrinkle
I ended
at far beyond
the realm of my pants.

at the ocean’s edge
soft dreams undulate
like waves—
I drift
I drift

There is a calm
in the water
that
never goes
with the
flows.

How could I get my act together, I am ddavidd for God sake :) :)

Edited.
Oops, Hellon I thought you were complaining why I did not connect the water to the ocean in my piece, not about why I missed the word ocean as the prompt. I didn't read the guideline correctly and thought it was only "thirteen words". Reading some other entries, being "ocean-less", corroborated this in my mind also. So my answer about being the ddavidd wasn't really cocky, I was trying to be funny and a funny misunderstanding made it seem that way.

Here, I thought
you abandoned me,
yet you push ocean
waves toward me.

The ocean salt
found its way to my tears -
adieu forever, my love.

Your presence,
safer than the shore,
kept me sane from
the erratic ocean.

CRAP!!! I was trying to add a poem and did it wrong and tried to delete my post and I somehow deleted the original post. I'm so sorry! I've done this before too - how!?? ARFGH!

EDIT: I sincerely hope that's the only other post I deleted besides my own. My computer was taking forever to load and other poems could have been deleted :(

Without malice
Jane cast Rania's brilliant ideas
into the ocean of unorganized ions.
