                    This reminds me of these human maniquin mimes...
                
                ...my folks and I happened across one summer when down in New Orleans!
  Kudos!

Legend 
has it
 that, 
one day, 
a 
young man
 was 
walking along the beach
when
 he came across 
an
 old man 
picking up starfish
that 
had 
washed ashore and 
tossing them
 back into the ocean.
  
He informed the old man 
that there were 
thousands of starfish
along
 countless miles of beach...
  
"Do you really
 believe that
 you can 
save them all?" he asked.
  The old man, 
without a word, 
bent over 
and picked up 
another starfish,
tossed it 
out into the ocean,
and, then, responded:
  
"I saved this one!"
                   
                    
  Keeping that in mind, please read this!

                    WOW!
                
                   That was very interesting, a very different poem indeed.  It had romance and humor, two things not often written about together in a poem.  I very much enjoyed reading it.
