Shark Bait
by Clara Mae GregoryDeathlessness
evades her
as the days
linger on far gone,
outlasting
Love's perpetuity.
She is floating
upon the briny deep
hyaline sea,
abiding her time
swimming the currents
Alone. 06/20/2011

| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 06/21/11 at 04:31 PM I know this feeling. You deliver its essence vividly perfect, no other words could do what you just did. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/28/11 at 12:06 AM Nicely expressed. We're all shark bait in our own way, so it doesn't hurt to be a strong swimmer. :o) |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 06/28/11 at 01:46 PM I like Chris' comment and agree. This does definitely give me a feeling of loneliness and sadness. But the words are so beautifully crafted and weave together like a piece of rumpled sea-green silk... rumpled with life. Thanks for this beautiful poem, Mel. |
