I never write poetry. My mom and my brother are really good poets but I just wasn’t blessed with that talent. However, I recently wrote a poem for my brother and I didn’t hate it so I thought I would share it with you. Do you like to write poems?
Regulus
rocking in his wooden boat
treading water
barely afloat
dashes of hope
eyes sparkling as he glides
currents change
no where to hide
fishes for love
throws them all back
hand in glove
heart attack
sees the moon as a bowl of milk
drinks it down
feels the guilt
swaying gently with the waves
contemplating
final daze
how did he get off course?
wasting hours
tour de force
the wind slowly chaps his skin
shivers at night
just let him win.
