Rebuke, or pity? Spurning all life-skill guides,
oblivious to shellfish jaws and stings that leave
sure swimmers keeling, she dived young, keen to prise,
eviscerate and string the seeds.
The first heave
mesmerised. The seven sea-tentacles unfurled,
artful to drag her down. The laden wrecks
rebuffed her questing hands.
The glass-green swirl
yawed, paused and shifted her past hope of land.
Meshed with slow swells she grins and glides,
adrift on moon-drugged tides, which at their flood
roll, roll her shorewards, till brine cold rhythms guide
this prisoner from deeps misunderstood.
In the sea's time, formless remains are hurled
naked, flesh gorged by seabirds, spent, unpearled.
I've no idea which of your blogs to follow. And read. And giggle at and over.
ReplyDeleteI can see that I am going to spend quite a bit of time with you, as if this blasted blogging I've got myself into weren't eating too much into my reading and writing time already.
Thank you very much for visiting, how did you find me?
Just in case you got the wrong idea, I am not quite as thick and unlettered and unlearned as some of the replies to my post seem to imply.
I'll make up my mind about following one of your sites anon.
Dear Friko . . My "Option Trader" blog is rather technical/financial, I know, but if you get interested and want to know more, eMail me at the address given.
ReplyDeleteMy "Silly" blog is just that. A lot of what happens in the world strikes me as silly. So I try to blog it, with what success is for my readers to say. This is the blog you are most likely to giggle at and over . . . I hope! It doesn't much matter which blog you follow, because they all have links to the others.
The Poetry blog is perhaps more serious. I think I put folk off by calling them "Homeopathic" (That's because my blog name is Doctor . . and "homeopathic" is assonant with "poems")
I will certainly "follow" your blog. Blogland is full of folk just waiting to be your friend!
With very best wishes.
The Doc
Rabbit, Rabbit
ReplyDeleteThis is so radically different from the financial numbers but I understand this better. I love the imagery.
I think I should claim a fee for acting as a Blogland introduction agency! Live long and prosper, folks!

Anyone for a swim?
This was very nice as well .
ReplyDeleteI could relate except I usually make friends with the under water creatures.
I often love to swim with gills like a mermaid never having to worry about surfacing.
Of course it's in my dreams, when I have them.
The water is warm, softer than a feather pillow.
But life is lived with a false sense of security.
One thinks with laws one is safe but sometimes it is the laws that kill you.:)
