Poem: Combing The Beach In Winter

Subtitled: Beachglass Jewelry Set with Matching Poem

Bits of colored glass
Like fragments from our past
Lay scattered on the sand
Softly glistening in the sun

Oh, catch them, catch them fast
These bits of colored glass
Like fragments of our past
And gather them one by one

String them like so many memories
With edges smoothed by time
Yet retaining the soft translucency
Of colorful days gone by

Don’t lose the wonders and mysteries
But string them like so many memories
With edges smoothed by time
Faded like a winter sky

The greens and yellows and blues
Are the gardens I grew with you
While our love was growing
While our flowers were blooming

Shatoetry with William Shatner!

This is the greatest poem generator app – for anyone who enjoys refrigerator magnet poetry, who could ask for more? You get a free app with a huge list of free words, and it generates a short list for you, but you can search and select from the full list any time while creating your ‘shatism’. Every word you select is dragged and dropped anywhere on the page, which is a wonderful background image of William Shatner. You can select from several backgrounds, each with Bill in a different pose to complement various styles of delivery. And speaking of delivery, every word you select has three distinctly different oral renditions recorded by Mr. Shatner, allowing you incredibly creative license with his famously recognizable voice.  Now you can make Captain Kirk say just about anything, and he will wrap it all up in a wonderful video for you to share with everybody!

So here’s my first request of the Captain, and which I remorsefully dedicate to my failing short term memory:

THE CLOUDS CARRY EMBERS

OF DECAYING MEMORIES

MOVING AS FIERY SHIPS

VANISHING INTO SEAS OF FOG
