I’m a fish out of water

throw me
back into the sea

I’ll swim backwards
into the time
before I had legs

My Lover Cherita 2

my lover was a drummer

he held my rhythm
in his hands

somewhere
somehow
we lost the melody

    That’s very exciting. I love free verse poetry!

    Thank you Bridgette. I’m now going into longer prose. I’ve been tanka a haiku for over 17 years– ready to explore free verse poetry.
