This weekend our challenge was
to write a poem or a piece of prose
in exactly 21 words using the word “ocean”.
Here’s mine.

Life is strange.
I’ve lived years on
one continent
only to find a friend
across the ocean
who became
my sister.

21 Words
This is Lucy and Ethel singing “Friendship”
And from the 1954 movie “White Christmas”, this is Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen singing “Sisters” (co-stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye).

Nancy,
Your words encapsulate the beautiful unpredictability of life. In just a few lines, you’ve expressed the profound connection that can span continents, turning a friend into a sister. The simplicity of your expression carries deep meaning.

Thank you for your profoundly moving comments today.
I will attest to the “beautiful unpredictability of life”;
when it happens, it’s like discovering a treasure.
Your words have touched my heart, David. ❤︎

I call the ocean just a big pond. The countries don’t seem so far away then
