Jean Omalley Polatnick Poet Rhyme

Heartfelt

For all the thoughts that lost their pull
For reasons good and reasons cruel
I stand a shell of who I was
But shells are beautiful, just because

Tossed and turned through years of waves
Wading, for the tides must change
This small crustacean drifts ashore	
Smoother now for all it saw
