Star-Fins
Seaside holiday,
a child sculpting
from sand, a sea turtle
all consuming details
a geometric shell,
carved by a stick, four
well placed fins
round black eyes
of two, worn- flat sea pebbles
If an unseen force
was to animate
these cartoon-cute features
and sea-ready fins,
would it race for the breakers,
not looking back to see who was
its Creator ?

Hi Suzanne. Welcome to the Whispers site. I am honored to have read such a good piece of poetry. It is a well-written and artistic poem that takes me back to when I was a child making images out of the sand on the beach. Thank you for sharing and please feel free to stop by my website at www.tgbtgpublictions.com as I would love to read and publish some of your poetry in Creative Inspirations.
