It didn't take you long to get right to the point and I like the point you got to. Let's swim in the stars. You've given us a beautiful beach scene with a wonderful picture you have painted with our minds eye. Job well done sis.

    I'm glad you liked this one, Dan. It is a little out of the norm for me, but that was kind of fun. Thanks so much for the stars too, dear bro.
    Lotsa love, Debi

**sigh** This poem got me swooning like a teenager (I'm not) and wanting to go outside and swim in this frigid cold winter- lol. Well written! Thank you so much for sharing!

I wasn't familiar with this form of poetry before so I'm grateful I now am. And grateful for your poem which is so evocative. Lovely sentiment and lovely imagery combined.

Thank you for sharing!

It's you a dodo? You know I can't help myself. I wish you mush luck (cough) in the Zen Poem event. With a short splash on a beach you dash, dancing in the stars you find your love. The Japanese are short in stature, short on poems and short of money. K XX

This dodoitsu, Romance on the Beach, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers that the spiritual realms that are exposed to us through the water and sky are available for us to ponder.

This picture is such a nice background for your romantic poem, but just so you know I try to swim at night and is not very safe as all the giants are migrating and lots of poisonous stuff:) Thank you so much fir sharing.

I love the poem with this photo. They go together so well. I like the twisting around of looking up at the water and swimming in the stars. It was a little surprise that worked well. It's fun, isn't it, to use these Japanese poetry forms.

    Hi Jill, I don't know if we have met before, but it is so nice to meet you.
    I am glad you like that last line. It seemed to match the criteria of ending it a little comical. And I appreciate your kind words for my romantic beach story. It was a fun write for Gypsy's club. I thank you again, my dear friend.
    Love, Debi
