Somehow, this puts my lack of creativity today into perspective...
Droppings? So, it’s was morning again The coffee brewed While the songbirds sang And there was hope for a revelation But nothing other than bird shit arrived. |

The beach, whether it be bay or ocean
I can breathe freely and at peace The sadness lifts and my spirit soars I will remember always and forever When I was loved

Difficult Hollylane!
This is my shorter version trying to use Gogyohka principles. It is difficult!
~The beach sets my spirit Soaring and free Remembering when You loved me~ _________________________ Gogyohka • 5 lines of free verse • No set syllable pattern • Short & succinct lines, governed by the duration of a single breath • Captures an idea, memory, observation or feeling in a few compelling words

Paper thin walls fail to insulate as screams grow louder the wall banging goes unnoticed one should try turning up the TV |

Before and after
Joy at finding love Wonder at the feeling Touching your soul, finding it open and receptive We were in the same place My head on your chest Listening to your heart beat Reading your thoughts, feelings, hopes, love and need for me in print Pouring out of you Hearing your ache for me Missing me Wanting me Saying you wanted to grow old with me Then I allowed myself to believe, really believe Loved you unconditionally Openly Totally Completely With my whole heart, soul & body Allowed myself to feel my need for you Now and always Shared that with you Shed tears Missed you so Still believed we were in the same place Only to find A minefield of words My hope and dreams for the future Now gone Still trying to understand How it became Before and after
