Carole Duet Poet Concrete

I'M Thinking of a Place

  I’m
thinking
of a place,
a place far away,
far away from here
as I sail through the night,
a place where you are in my sight.
Yeah, I’m thinking of a place where I see you
so clear,
not here,
but there.
Yeah, I’m thinking of a place sailing through the cool night air,
getting closer to that place far away where I’m going someday.
Yeah, I want to go, have to go to that place far away
where I’ll hear you say, “I love you too.”

Andrea Dietrich September 20, 2018 at 7:02 PM Came back to check out your entry again. I remember that I really liked it when I saw it again. I got inspired by seeing all the other people's poems. Sure wish more winners got put up. Carole Duet September 22, 2018 at 11:26 PM Hi Andrea. This was not the entry for the "concrete" contest. "Blocked" was. However, I'm glad you tried and read this one. Carole

Andrea Dietrich May 6, 2018 at 4:41 PM Hey, ALL RIGHT!!!! WAs it too late for the concrete contest? I hope not!! I honestly cannot think of a thing to do. well, something just came to me but maybe the contest is closed now. Carole Duet May 6, 2018 at 9:39 PM Yeah, thanks for the idea to make it look like a sailboat but it must be too late for the contest. That's ok. It's not that important to me. I just write whatever and whenever something comes to mind. Carole :D

Maria Williams April 30, 2018 at 7:27 PM Physical and metaphysical follow one another, each in their own time and for their own purpose for life is a continuation. Carole you are a brilliant poet, I feel the want in your words, such imagery this conjures. For me this is a definite fave, one to be read again, and song choice is perfect.....Maria xxx Carole Duet May 1, 2018 at 2:38 AM Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Maria. You're an angel. I must admit the song inspired the poem...along with my muse, of course. Carole :D xox
