Goodbye

Goodbye
Said the Greek;
A sudden shift


So many days
By poetic shores;
A touch of nice


The distant waves
Ebb and flow;
Recall old haunts


On this shoreline,
Seagulls make noise;
Crowded array


Words mix and match
Verse of all sorts;
The poets plot


Strange range,
Broad avenues;
Quaint company


Like minded souls
Yet far apart;
Online surreal


A common flow
In afterglow;
Yes each soul knows


We come,
We go;
Poesy remains


Journey starts,
Until it ends;
A final page


Wit follows whim
In words compact;
Verse incomplet_


Linger a while
On sultry smiles;
Crisp voices style


Line ferments line
As words reveal;
What heart conceals


And in the end,
The moment's mood;
Can be far-fetched


Nobody knows
The hidden tears;
Distilled as poems


I hide my sighs
I blow my horn
I linger here


Beyond the sphere
Of drowsy strain;
Poetic complaints!


Weaver and merchant
Words hurl protest;
Change conquers all
