David Mohn Poet Rhyme

Adrift

How chafed the foot bereft of sole,
when unshod thoughts meet splintered floor.
Known terra firma drifts from whole, 
as reason loses sight of shore.

03 Mar 2020 
First four lines of "Unmoored - God Knows Where I Am" written 29 May 2017. Gregory R. Barden's Rithimus Divisa 2 Poetry Contest

Gregory Richard Barden April 18, 2020 at 8:26 AM I need to make myself more familiar with your work, David, (I apologize for that), as this is just exquisite writing and very intelligent in depth and phrasing - superb! Congrats on 4th place in a VERY close contest! :o)
