Closed Her Two Arms

Clam on me had closed her two arms
Captivating me and my many charms
Then the next thing that I did know
Drug me under and never let go.

Bone by bone they went asleep
I did end up in the ocean deep
When people down have went
What they see now is a monument.

WS, Great and have missed you like I always do all of my favorite poets. Have you ever heard of the Osage Indian Tribe. Listen to this.

oh my , an eerie monument that would be. Yes, my friend. ONE good poem a day . I think it should be our LIMIT, since I hardly have time to do one comment a day to all my friends here!

AD, That probably is not a bad idea except I use my account to stockpile and store my poems. I just actually skipped two days believe it or not. Pine Pollen has been killing me. Jim
