Mystic Rose Rose Poet Rhyme

A Canvass Of Blue

A canvass of blue
suddenly thinking of  you...
Salty  nights spent alone 
          nowhere to go,
                no one to run to...
Elastic voyages stretched forever
  you are always gone
   Even the lanterns
couldn't hold it until noon. 

           Lonely by the seaside,
                         always hoping
         for your return. 
               Eyes fatigued, I skim the surface 
              no ship in sight
just a quiet solitary night,
          Where            are             you ?

CayCay Godwin January 17, 2026 at 10:13 AM Exceptional emotional imagery, Mystic. Are you familiar with 'widow walks' as were frequently on the roof of houses of fishermen? There are many in New England where wives would pace, looking to sea with concern for their husbands return. Bad storms and missed return dates, I can imagine their fear pulse. That's where your emotive words took me and I enjoyed going on the emotional trip.

Christopher Delegans January 12, 2026 at 8:15 PM This feels very genuine and quietly sad. The spacing and ocean imagery make the waiting feel real, and the ending lands softly but effectively. Well done, Mystic. Mystic Rose Rose January 14, 2026 at 3:16 AM I really appreciate your honest and well thought out comment dear Christopher, thank you for your kind visit on my page :)
