A Quickie

The bubbles have the ocean now.
They're headed toward the shore.
The navy cannot penetrate.
It seems we've lost the war.
What does life hold in store?

Hi, Andrea. Wasn't too proud of this one and thought about removing it a couple of times and then just forgot about it. Thanks for you comments, my friend. Nice to hear from you... Robert.

Robert Short but filled with lots of insight and a good question at the end. Thank you for the suggestion on my poem format problem and the sweet comment on my Telephone Friend poem.

You are right, Sara. I thought I'd try to force myself to write something, so I made it easy on myself with this quickie. I thought I'd just write down the first thing that came to my mind. I'm glad it was only 4 lines. Thanks, Sara..... Robert
