Searching for an Inventive Poem

I searched for a poem
in the rising sun, in
the absent moon, in
the darkness of nights,
and high-lighted noon,

in the shops and the streets,
in green medows and weeds,

I searched in the broken shells
and the empty shores, in the
unbeatable forts and
and broken walls.

I searched under the rainbows,
among the clouds,
in the far horizon
where the ocean and the sky bound.

I searched for a poem
And here it's found

You got yourself a lovely poem, I enjoyed it thoroughly. My only crit is that it needs tightening up. As in the lines below:

in (the) shops and (the) streets,
in (the) green medows and weeds,

There are far too many "the"s and some other words that could be removed. The title is fine, the whole poem makes sense, I have nothing else to suggest. Good one!

Hi, Rula,
Sometimes I get "that" feeling when reading a poem - I don't even know the word to describe it, but it's an amazing connection with the very essence of poetry. This poem does that for me. "I searched in the broken shells, in the empty shores." So good...
Thank you!
