i choose this alliteration
by Kristina Woodhillshards of hung sea shells
swish sea songs along
where one silly rhyme begets
an inland nautique song
it is a clink, clink, clink
it is a tender puffed blow
it is a chanced glance caught
it is an opened window
number one fish line holds
quaint matrimony shells
the first decade christenings
the first hands held
bits of beads embellishing
a drift wood stick hand-drilled
hung out to dry,
a desert-heated kiln
middle fish line heaves
on tides of changing swells
gales force entanglements
midst gulls' screams quelled
third fish line leverages
so all shells speak
determining sought harmony
of shifting sand-clad feet
it is a clink, clink, clink
it is a tender puffed blow
it is the chiming years above
it is a teak bench below
