He Took a Walk

He took a walk to see the view. They found a sock. A rose, he threw. Blue was the sky - the ocean, too. He wondered why. They found a shoe. A bluff so high, an eagle flew. He could not fly. His love was true. A blood-red rose, and then he knew, and so time froze. The tide withdrew.

Hey David, I really enjoyed your poem! It has such a calm and thoughtful vibe, and those simple images like the sock and rose add a nice touch of everyday magic. The way you wrapped it up with time freezing felt really powerful. Thanks for sharing!
