Way to handle the whole perspective issue. I had to borrow the train tracks. ;_) This is admirable in its clarity and haunting in its sense of separation.
I'll just say one thank you to all of you. I appreciate you reading and commenting, and Laurie thanks for the interesting writing topic. And Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
Once in a while, my desires bring together.

Oh, this is lovely... peaceful. Thanks for taking part, Mary.
ReplyDeleteDesires divided by water... that's a cry to echo down the ages.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Hedgewitch...haunting is the word. And hauntingly beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThis is full of pain...of wanting to bridge that divide, but there is nothing to build on
ReplyDeleteI have no words just appreciation for beauty
ReplyDeleteHaunting...to swim the depths of desire and not find fulfilling or reach the one who stays away.(Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteSo much to think about in these words!
ReplyDeleteSo close yet so far, curse that divide.
ReplyDeleteThree lines as deep as the ocean that divides. A longing two by four of a shorty. Hits me square in the chest. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Hero.!
DeleteDeep longing felt in this, brevity here is powerful, other Mary. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Hannah.
DeleteAn incurable longing (regret?) Very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret, not too dramatic I hope?
DeleteHaunting...yes that is a good description.
ReplyDeleteAnd as to the tone of my last poem,a fun romp through poetic misdirection:-)
Thanks Wander. Hope you didn't mind the bunnies.
DeleteDon't know what the toads prompt was, but this resonates beautifully with me.
ReplyDeleteLydia - check out the link for Imaginary Garden with Real Toads. Good site, good people. And thank you!
DeleteWe've all been there, Mary - on opposite sides of a "waste of seas" Lovely, sad and true.
ReplyDeleteThank you Doctor (she says facing east and waving).
