Ummm...SO all that hope and stuff about last week being Easter? Well, that sorta makes it a little difficult to keep up with poetry contests! No, seriously, it was a long weekend of prepping to host Easter Dinner, and that made life quite a bit hectic. So hectic, in fact, that I took three days off writing, and have today to make up, too!!! That's 4 days of poems, if you're keeping score at home. I think I'll try and spread it out over two posts today!! I think I still have a couple hopeful poems left to write.....
The Sailor
I stood along the shores of the sea,
with sadness my companion,
until at last a boat with no owner came ashore,
there was within it one seat only,
no more could go, no less required.
And I held onto my sadness,
we tried to fit, but to no avail,
until at last, we knew it was time to part,
and I sent my sadness sailing off,
towards another shore,
for I no longer need his companionship.
Friday
It often dawns brightly,
warm air on a sunny day,
the temperatures running hot,
until the afternoon.
The clock tones the hour - three rings,
and life becomes still for a moment,
as though the entire world waits with baited breath
just to make certain it will keep spinning while the sun disappears.
Thereafter, the bright sky returns,
and real or imagined,
for me, the world stopped anyway,
and from that stop,
issues forth a renewed faith,
And it is good.
Thanks for reading,
The Fat Kid
