Kovalam Beach - A Sojourn (In response to Ann Carr (annart)'s Beach Challenge)
Day One At the Beach
In the midst of the walking rainbow
A fisherman's tale, a sunset
A raving sea, waves of changing hue
A garden of dreams, blooms on the parapet
Day Two At the Beach
And the dew drops faded away
To a turbulent shade of green
Destinies intertwined with the violent waves
Left no little tales to begin
Day Three At the Beach
If at all there were dreams that came true
They would be dreams by the ocean
A sudden delight in the forgetful calmness
Is one soul lost in the ocean
Day Four at the Beach
The morning sun has lost its glow
Beckons the moon of early hours
Roads that lead away from the sea
Await in a new realm of desires

Thank you, Li-Jen. Yes, the dew drops line is a favorite of mine, too. Thank you again for taking the time to read.
Hey Rinita. Another great attempt to a challenge! :) It is interesting to see the poem split according the number of days and the pictures go well with the poem. I also like the depth and creativeness of the poem.."dew drops faded away to a turbulent shade of green", "one soul lost in the ocean". It has a dreamy feel too. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Frank. It was a soothing challenge. Writing about the beach is always fascinating!
Rinita, This is poetry at its finest. That's the evaluation of one not so talented or experienced in the writing of poetry. It carries one away to another place. Thank you for participating in Ann's challenge. Well done.
Rinita this was absolutely amazing.. I love how you easily handled the challenge...

How the sea and its moods change from day to day, hour to hour even. You have captured this well in your poetry, mirroring your lovely photos.

Thank you, Verlie. Yes, pretty much wrote each quartet at the end of each day of stay there, hence, the varying mood. Thanks again for visiting.
Rinita, your photos and poems capture the essence of the sea here. Kovalam Beach is beautiful...I like how you spread the mood over a number of days.
