Because I once have seen a wave its tide engrave when at its full a push and pull Because I once have dipped my toes into its flow the ocean’s roll renewed my soul Because of this, I can still feel sea’s kiss so real though far away from salty spray Written for "Promptly Poetry Challenge (2024-2025)"  Week 44 Prompt - Minute Poetry The Minute Poem is a rhyming verse form consisting of 12 lines of 60 syllables written in strict iambic meter.

The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabb, ccdd, eeff \ \ I misread the directions at first and wrote 12 lines of 8 syllables in iambic meter I am not throwing that poem away but appending it here. I had to chop it up to fit the prompt, but this is how it began: Because I once have seen a wave Upon the sand its tide engrave Heaving, foaming when at its full The chaos in the push and pull Because I once have dipped my toes Into the icy ebb and flow Held my breath ‘neath the ocean’s roll shocked my senses, renewed my soul Because of this, I can still feel Sea’s kiss upon my skin, so real Though far from shores and salty spray I oft’ relive those sunny days |
