A Pacific Motion Picture
Entering Semi-Ah-Moo spit
trailing a Straits Salish,
she previewed a speckled
heron egg projected
over the sky-dome.
Clutched within seagrass,
bunches of petal Dots tempted
her, melting from a popped sun.
Ushering the aisle, pygmy
bunnies chair hopped
from stump to stone while
her feet ground a maraca
pebble-and-shell track.
The sea shushed, chomping
at its seaweed cud. Jutted
elders, frozen in salute, were
patrolled by Haliaeetus who
halted her pass. Petrified
oak bones were sprawled
white-knuckled on the beach.
She quenched on a crisp ozone tonic
while the tide massaged her toes
in pistachio pudding foam.
Sat on a boulder, she contented
for the orca musical
to stage on the sound.

This was a very good writing in a few ways which I’ll point out first. the flow went along very well and the image you painted throughout was great. The only downfall to me was the emotions or lack there of. I think that you wrote it with the idea of making a good structured writing in oppose to something that shows how you really feel about the situation.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A RATHER UNIQUE POEM SO TO SPEAK, I LIKE IT AND THINK THAT IT ELABORATED ON SOME GREAT KEY POINTS WITHIN! KEEP AT IT AND STAY STRONG!
Writer of Sea’s Sublime Watching of Conduction,
I love rhyme but that’s absent here,
And so I slowed down my reading,
Your lovely imagery I to peer.
Pistachio pudding foam stopped I to ponder,
What a lovely mind you have,
Writer of Poseidon’s Realm of ocean yonder.
Very Respectfully,

Well…I didn’t get all of it, but enough to decide I like it. I like the title, and some of the other phrases are great. Chomping seaweed cud, pistachio pudding foam, and of course the crisp ozone tonic. You gotta love it. This motion picture is like a documentary with a fantasy twist. Should have a photo to go with it.
Semi-ah-moo, Salish? I take it you’re from Washington? Maybe you should revise your notes to say, “If you don’t get it, you’re probably from a different state? Anyways, this has some pretty amazing use of language and imagery. Its almost overflowing (pun intended) with semi-abstract sensory detail. Very unique and creative!
