'Down By The Sea Shore'



For today's Think Tank at Poets United. 


'Shell'

“She sells
  Seashells”
 Take one -
One is none,
One, two - I love you,
One, two, three - family,
One, two, three, four – go to the sea shore,
Five, six, seven, eight, nine – picking up shells of beauty divine,
Ten…twenty…thirty…riches abound – an infinite number of blessings we’ve found!




Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur

    I think whoever wrote the original, "She sells seashells ..." would be very pleased with your "spin" on this.

    This poem accelerates and takes off as you read it. It feels and looks and works like an exponential curve (speaking as an engineer!).
