Poem created in response to Poetic Bloomings’ “Life is a Beach” Gauntlet.
Day 17, July 17th
Prompt: Put Into Words (Ekphrasis)
A Shell Collecting
She walks the beach collecting shells
devoid of the life they once held.
Trudging daily through ebbs and swells,
she walks the beach collecting shells-
catharsis for the pain that dwells
within her heart, who’s fire’s been quelled.
She walks the beach collecting shells,
devoid of the life she once held.
