They are shards with gaps & slashes & always a hole so I can hang them on twine or ribbon. So here is what Buffy Silverman's wicked ice storm, which is like an ocean storm, inspired:<br /><br />My sandbar captured a shell<br />so in the rough surf it dwelled.<br />The waves pounded hard<br />now the shell is a shard<br />But O shell, you dangle so well.<br />c. 2014 Jan Godown Annino<br /><br />Thank you Michelle & Buffy, with ocean charms on top for this neat post.<br />Jan/Bookseedstudio<br />(not sure why I can't get anonymous out of the posting...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-89507165517303857742014-03-16T20:30:37.492-04:002014-03-16T20:30:37.492-04:00Thank you for sharing Buffy's fabulous poem, M...Thank you for sharing Buffy's fabulous poem, Michelle.
