And our prompt for napowrimo Day 16 is based on the idea of a picture being worth a thousand words — napowrimo posted three pictures, all loosely based around the idea of the ocean, the sea snail was the one that I picked to inspire the following poem.
House of Beauty
A house of beauty
You carry fathoms deep
Tucked in amongst flotsam and jetsam
Aqualine iced blues merge to grazing greens
Whilst your sluggy mollusc body leaves a trail unseen
Below the choppy waves
