Actually, in days gone by, I wrote two books of poetry.
I went down to the banks to play
And added briney thoughts
To the miles in between
There in the sand stood a crane
Focused on a minnow he had lost and seen
In the spring the snow melts away
Stretching the banks like joy
Laughter to break the smiling ice
So bright and full of teeth
Separating you from me
Pictures of you run through my thoughts
Old man willow trailing brows
In muddy water
Full of the tumbling leaves
Floating away like our brighter days
I think I might build a boat
Crude and sturdy
To drift in the current without oars
And watch the sky float over me
Chasing the dreaming clouds
To the sea
To the sea
P.S. Who Are You and Where are You From?
WordPress gives me these awesome reports and I can see how people find me, where they live, how they found the blog, what pages they visited. I see people from Europe, Asia, South America, and I always wonder who they are. I would love to get comments from you!

Reply: Another very visually and inspiring poem, Jon. Great for someone who grew up looking at the ocean and admiring its wonderful birds.
