A wonderful observation of the sea William, I almost felt as if I was paddling in the waves. Particularly liked the lines: 'Only the onlooking moon can pull her back, and this little by little and lap by lap.' Simply beautiful. Kind regards, Justine.

This poem has been revised as of 11-19-06. The first stanza is new, and in the first line of the second stanza I substituted the words (ebbs and flows) for the word 'moves'.
