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.
Really vivid writing—so much said in such few words. Well done.
