Twisted words upon the tide. 50 Word Challenge. Prompt - Sea.
Shifting sands, seas ebb, cease flow
Eyes pooling grief, swell undertow,
Seascape of their childhood
Time eroding they stood,
Chucking wood while shells she'd find
Rich bought, paid no mind,
Different tune playing they came
Took dunes with rezone claim,
She's by the shore no more
Buy shells in store.

That is awesome, GBM:) I am done the 100 day challenge and hoping to get back into the 50 word. Are poem's okay? @jayna
I don't think format is a problem.
I must admit poems feel like a bit of a cheat, but I am actually pretty new to the 50, and it is a way of kinda getting used to the limitation.
It is still limiting, I wanted to say so much more about the characters, then I did find the story lost in the over selection of adjectives and had to start over with a more simplified version. Then ID hit 53 and need to decide where to take them from, restructure, come in under, then add back. Repeat.
This simple passage was a 2 am mind bender, that torturous process disclosed qualifies me I think.
I find @jayna very welcoming of any approach to the task, even hitting the 50 exactly is not stipulate only encouraged with positivity.
Yes, yes! Poetry is fine. We have quite a few people who contribute their story in poetry form. This is a challenge with very few rules. The main thing is to create a complete idea in 50 well-crafted words.
Oh this is so lovely! I really enjoyed the cadence and imagery. Well done!
Reflecting really amazing challenge and sometimes it's really difficult to restrict our feeling into few words but you've done great job and you described the actions of sea greatly and in my opinion the actions of sea is magical and sunrise and sunset of Sea is great view to watch.
Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
