Watermarks

My poem here originally began as a 4 line comment/anecdote on Ryan Stone’s “Hourglass” poem he posted two days ago, and I have rehashed those words and created an interesting “Pyramid Poem” … Thanks to Ryan for being the source of the “Watermarks” poem … please click on this link to visit his fabulous site >> https://daysofstone.com/2023/08/31/hourglass/




Watermarks
(a Pyramid Poem)

rivers flow

tides come and go

footprints in the sand

slip away with the undertow

dreams fade in a cloud of mist and snow

hollow watermarks drift over the poet’s shadow

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

    1. Thank you Carolyn… Ryan’s poem influenced me greatly … and then we made a special trip to beach to capture some suitable photos, and Enya’s music/video was a perfect fit for my poem 🤗🌏😍🐶🎶📖
