NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011

22. Write a poem that only has five syllables in each line. Give the poem a long title.
We'd sit on the seawall and feel the cool air off the ocean

memories of us
linger in my mind...

Our toes in the sand

the wind in our hair

seagulls in the sky

sun shining brightly...

we ran to the waves

salt on your tan skin

I kiss you so hard

we fall in the waves

laughing at ourselves
you held my hand tight
you fell to one knee
promise forever

I miss you more now

while the sun light fades

alone on the shores

where you still linger

in the seagulls cry

and the soft sea breeze

the sun melts away

in all I see you

In my mind lingers
memories of us....

YOUR TURN

ENJOY
