hand of encouragment

just a little thank you poem for the fun of it

there was a kind man in the sand

he surfaced for air--  breathed in and breathed out

till  he found someone in need to give a kind hand

how compassionate   yes

how helpful  of course

and because of his hand

a bright multi colored

giant pink 

rose grew

 and grew in that sand

flourished  with the magic potion

soaking  up the ocean

and offered that man

love on demand

poems galore    

roses

  and 

a spirit     free to soar.

Since there are hundreds of similar love poems posted here, I'm always over the moon when I find one that's original & unexpected. Your "man in the sand" seems to be a twist on the mermaid idea . . . & it is again a surprise when a rose is planted in beach sand (unlikely, but that's what makes the reader ponder, when things aren't painted as we might expect). I also like the way you play with a certain word sound here & there, with an uneven mix of end rhymes and internal rhymes. Since I'm a pretty regimented writer, I learn a lot when I read someone with a more uninhibited style like yours! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
