November 7 - November 11


chakra of plastic strewn on the beach

pieces encircle the winding beauty

of a wayward Cerion snail shell with

echoes of a woeful wail worthy of Munch

spiraling energy of imbalance out into the world

That’s quite the coincidence, Jean. I went to that link before I wrote my comment and only then did The Scream show up in my head. So strange, too, that it would be Del Ray Beach.

Do you know a piece of artwork titled Scream? It immediately came to mind, the horror the snail is experiencing.

Your comment was dead on and I had to go back and edit the poem. What do you think of the new version? I think it is much more on point. Thank you so much for your thoughts!🤓
