A cup full of life

I found a sea of gold

While I dunked my listless feet

In this morning’s sunrise waves.

When the incoming tide

Filled my footsteps

I made a wish

That one day

My soul would be

As full

With life

Again.

Ahhhhh Mr E - always love your reviews.....heading back to the beach for a sunset poem :)

This is a simple image-filled observation where the surroundings form a symbol for one’s inner thoughts. Nicely interactive with the waves & the scene in general. I love the way this is a fulsome observation, despite being a fairly short poem. I almost thought you might be writing a nonet. I’ll tell you about it, in case you ever want to try one. There are nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the next line has eight syllables, then seven, six, etc. Your poem is pretty close to having that format. It could be fun if you’re into wordplay! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Aha.....l pop back to the beach and wait for the right wave to fry a nonet :)
Thanks for your encouraging words.....

Just my thought..not sure if correct...but still suggesting..

Filled my footsteps
I made a wish
That one day my soul
To be full of life again..

Nice photo of sun rise....
You poem gives me the vibe of a person really drained of energy.... and if he should be plugged for charging he would recover... :)
Just my thoughts...it can be silly...

[SleeplessVolcano]

Thanks for your comments and positive feedback. Recharging happening as we speak...:)

[Ardra]
