Blue Hole

Listen to poem:

in the hollow after midnight i’m sinking down the blue hole that’s my mind the memory of you leads me by the hand i’m falling and your arms are what i find the moon each night that lone enchantress teases with her lures she beckons ~ like a siren out at sea and again i long to fall down that deep blue hole that leads me back to you AP: 3rd place 2021 Submitted on October 30, 2021 for contest BLUE sponsored by MYSTIC ROSE ROSE and on May 19, 2021 for contest BLUE HOLE sponsored by ANTHONY BIAANCO

We really have the sense of "falling" Line. There is so much movement in your lines and we wonder where are you falling - a "deep blue hole that leads me back to you." What a wonderful place to land out of the darkness. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!

Line, this is such a beautiful poem! I love the way you "fall" into his arms and your description of the moon as a "lone enchantress." Is that your voice on the recording? It was a lovely recitation of your poem. Best wishes for a win in Anthony's contest! A fave for me. Hugs, Carolyn
