Nautilus

~ Sophie DiNola
Shell, Edward Weston (1927)

see
sea
vision
whole jewel
wave after wave hides
you in a swirl of sand below
reach of ready hands
souvenir
obscure
chance
pure

{A Real Toads prompt based on the photo above. The form is the Fibonacci. The number of syllables for each line is based on the first six numbers in the Fibonacci sequence (starting with one) 1,1,2,3,5,8. Here, I reversed it as well.}

I love classics, poetry, vintage paperbacks, and library book sales.
