A Sonnet for Sea Glass

Here's a sonnet I wrote about sea glass. Yo can read this and other creations on my new site: A Sonnet a Day.


Weathered Jewel


Refreshment complete, a casual toss
from the vessel, the vessel's been removed
to be lost in the sea, but not a loss,
current's fickle gesticulations have proved.

A sure journey through sea and rock and sand
fracturing original purpose, yet
carving new treasures to be plucked on land
a pearl or jewel for an abstract set.

Fodder for shoreline's flotsam and jetsam
to be scattered in the chaste, coastal breast
collected, coveted, set and then some
transformed, transcendent, naturalized, best.

The vessels may have come from near or far
to be polished gems in my sea glass jar.
