I am participating in the 2013 summer Poem Swap that Tabatha Yeatts is organizing. What fun it is to receive a poem in the real snail mail! This week Tabatha sent out a picture prompt suggesting an ekphrastic poem. Some poet will receive this poem this week.
The photo that prompted this poem is Noise of the Waves by Phillip Schumacher.
Ocean Call
If you feel small,
sit on the grass-lined dune
near the sea,cross your legs,
cup your ear,
listen.The wind will call to you
on wisps of white clouds,
over the roar of wavesdrowning
your simple thoughts,
inviting you to be one
with the sculptor of things.–Margaret Simon
