Close encounter of the other kind!

The title might have got some of you interested enough to read this post….ah tricked you didn’t I? Oh c’mon u people smile even if you don’t think it’s funny….Gosh sometimes I wonder where all the humour has gone…..

I caught a glimpse of this stunning creature, while we were visiting the Half Moon Bay in California. I had never seen a starfish so closely in my life, so was really excited and thrilled to have captured it on camera….Normally I don't much talk about nature, but this was something else :-)

So here goes another poem

Lying there in all its grandeur
I looked at her and pondered

Never have I seen something so beautiful
All so glamorous and admirable

Colourful and elegant she looked
Leaving me mesmerised and hooked

Stars of the sea they are proudly called
Now I know why everybody is so fond…….

i like the poem simple & sweet,

now listen to my version

Lying there in all its grandeur
I looked at HIM and pondered

Never have I seen anything so GRACEFUL
All so glamorous and admirable

Colourful and elegant HE looked
Leaving ALL mesmerised and hooked

STAR of the sea HE'S proudly called
Now I know why everyone is so fond…….

but i think your version's better.. so keep writing

I like this side to you. Always envied those that could be arsed writing poetry - my dad started writing after his divorce and he tells me he´s now done over 300 of them.

If not for fame, then at least it can be theraputic :)

Was gonna comment on that creature but since anything to do with water freaks me out I think I´ll leave it :)
