Thoughts Adrift
My thoughts
Rise from the shore;
Again, as before,
They cross the bay,
Seek out a crest
And come to rest.
One gull
Glides into view—
Could it be you
Searching
The misty sea
For me?
You turn away
Into the haze,
Uncertain
As always.

Dear VanRyan
Those last three stanzas hit home. Amazing job! I really like the rhythm you use, and I feel like you perfectly captured longing and loneliness.

Dear Ms. Kareyn;
thank you so very much for liking my little poem. No, lonely I am not; I am simply a chameleon, well versed in changing my appearance--figuratively, of course. I appreciate your kind comment . Van.

That you are a Virgo ----chammelion appears distinct
but to you poetry comes
as an instinct
as in my mind poets views
instantly sink
and i compose comments
and say amen
take em as my poems
and most do
you will too
ask Gee will you
