Sweet Mercury

Posted Dec 6, 2019 · 8 lines · 7 critiques

If I could have been there
To hold your sweet hand
Before I’d come
I’d smooth out the sand
Quiet the ocean, silence the birds
So Your last loving song
Is all that I heard

"why not" by @WonderWoods
"I read this twice and really the only things I can offer is this: I’d like to see put in four line stanzas, but it’s your work. I think it would be a bit more powerful that way. Then the last line of the poem. . It just…"

"Just Flashed My Mind" by @lovedly
"I liked this. I read to different subjects in here. Most would say that is confusing, but like art abstracts are for the individual to absorb their way, in their eye."

"One Eye On The Weather..." by @Geezer

About me

I have been a member a long time but life keeps dragging me kicking and always screaming to other endeavors.
I had many poems and prose here. However I removed them for re-writes a while ago. The ones I am currently posting are new. no re-writes.
New style for me.
Not much more to say about me, except I’m just am, well. . . me. ; )
