Better Times Than These

Inspired by Joseph OneLight's "Artistic Co-Creators" poem. Thank you, my friend.


Poem Artwork

The morning waves
tumble like children at play
on the seashore;
seagulls wheel in
the laughter, pirouetting
above their heads;
dolphins beg to
be included in the fun
and so do I ...
This is why I
come here, often, to the beach,
if in my art -
it restores hope
and rekindles memories
of better times.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

The picture senses peace and the poem does also. It gives the reader a somewhat short, quiet and peaceul vacation.

It can't get better than this time Karla, this is a super and atmospheric write, that embraces the life giving forces of the sea, and the inner renewal we receive, when we take in the energizing drama
of Mother Nature !
I love that pic too !

Dear Karla,

I am so honoured that my simple words might inspire such an awesome poem. You wrote this with a soft, golden quill.

Serene liquid gold flows from your pen, Karla. The picture compliments your oceanic words. A day in the life of a seagull and a dolphin does restore hope. Free to fly to our highest dreams and dive to the depth of our innermost thoughts & memories.
