Dear readers, today I post portions of a comment that I received recently. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Many thanks Robb!
"Firstly, I LOVE your blog! I've been catching up on your blog as well as Lou
Ann's today....I absolutely love Ocracoke as it's peacefulness
reminds me of the beach we would go to when I was younger....
"Yesterday, I put my mind to
writing a little something that I prefer to call a 'pome' and not an actual
poem... Here it is:
"Ocracoke - Robb
Foster
"To sit on Ocracoke my friend
And watch the sun go down
again
The sails unfurled to catch the wind
Our souls will start to knit
and mend
The calming sound of ferry horns
And laughing gulls that
never mourn
That evening breeze to kiss my face
It tells us "Here's your
healing place."
I'll travel on to points unknown
With mem'ries sure to
wax upon
But nowhere heals me when I'm broke
Quite like the isle of
Ocracoke..."
Thanks again Robb!

This expresses perfectly how my husband and I feel about Ocracoke. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteExactly Thank you
ReplyDeleteRobb, I love all your comments as well!! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you all so much! Totally unexpected! I've been tweaking it a little; added a couple of more verses and was thinking about sending it to the O I Realty people later today when I get a chance; I don't have too many contacts down there other that OI Realty and, of course, John @ Fish Tail who is one of THE best in the OBX area. As a matter of fact all Ocracoke charters are the best!
ReplyDeleteSums up my feelings about the island perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNC Mainlander has had a long and tough day. You will never know how much I appreciate this wonderful & soothing poem. Rob, you have captured the very essence of Ocracoke. It's what I needed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Philip, for sharing!
