slipping neap

slipping neap

A Poem by Donald Meikle
"

I wanted words to flow

"
All my thoughts just glide and go
Like flotsam clumps in tidal flow
And as I wait upon the tide
With sweet companion at my side
I hold my precious thoughts inside
If told I know I'd have to hide
These waves of wonder crash asunder
Upon the spell that I am under
And spin my thoughts around my head
To make me think that I have read
These words to fill me full of dread
And so I write them down instead
Before the ebb of tide I slide and slither
Yon and hither
Wondering whither I have been

It's a good idea to run with the flow of rhythm and rhyme..but this sort of falls away at the end a little I feel
