SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I like to see the pebbles creep
Last Line: A tiny shell with wings.
Subject(s): Love


I LIKE to see the pebbles creep
Into the ocean's hand.
I like to see the water spread
Wide fingers on the sand,
And fumble for the emeralds
The foaming ripples hold,
Or grope among the seaweeds for
A clasp of coral cold.
I like to see the ocean stoop
And gather shining things:
Chrysolite or pearl or just
A tiny shell with wings.
