One More Peg

One more peg to quench my thirst, thirst of a desert nearer to sea so close to it yet so far. One more peg to forget the pain, pain of my heart which I once offered to you but you refused.

Kash, that was my partner's line that you referred to. I think some Americans count twinkling as three syllables. I assume they are counting twink le ing. However, in the midewest and west, we just say it like twink ling.

the way you ended this sure reinforced your poem pretty well, Kashinath! Enjoyed this and of how you let the thoughts flow-- the second line's last word leading to the first word of the third line--very cool-- keep on adding more pe..... ;)

How I love the way you ended this poem, Kashinath. There is always another peg, another river to cross, another mountain to come. It seems we never completely reach our destinations. Excellent poem for my favorites. Love, Carolyn
