I read this invitation from Roy Durham of royd-spiltmilk.blogspot.com two days ago :
Who would like to take part in a blog event?
What I have in mind is a Poe-a-tree blog event, each blogger will post a verse to the poem topic and the links to the other participating blogs. Sounds like fun to me.
Here is the theme of the poem so you can start poeming a verse “I am standing on a beach looking out to the horizon, what are my thoughts”. “What do I see, what do I feel, what is calling to me.” These are the question to ask yourself and then write a verse. As many lines as you like.

I saw the waves rushing towards me,
calling my name and beckoning me.
‘Come play with us, feel our love,
walk into our arms’, they cajoled me.
They looked deceptively harmless,
and promised to keep me company.
I wanted to belong,
so I ignored the voice of reason,
and walked into the loving arms,
of the frothing waves of love and care.
Their soothing touch comforted me,
I felt a tingling in my toes.
the sand shifted from underneath,
I felt my entire world move.
My friend Swati has penned these four lines…
Is that the horizon beyond the sea?
Is that God calling out to me?
What is this longing in my heart?
Why does it ache on seeing such heavenly art?
Is that God calling out to me?
What is this longing in my heart?

I want to read what happened next from you. You work wonders Mitr – although I must see the waves in a beach never seem harmless to me : ))) but I guess that's why I can never be the poetess you are …
Is that the horizon beyond the sea?

Why does it ache on seeing such heavenly art?
