Ooshka

ooshka is Scottish Gaelic for 'water' OOSHKA Edge of warm, edge of stillness edge of shaking sands fields of blue, touching you moving on, moving on. Floating mass in sea of Ooshka see the glass, it's breathing cold it's silky light in rainbow colours going on, going on. Million shores with foaming silver sleeping, walking, through the stars dreaming image of Azura rivers holding on, holding on. See the sea birds disappear but their watching from the shore Ooshka melting waves of sweetness looking on, looking on. Snow white waves on smoky pillows taking back the all it gave floating dreams forever fading then it's gone, then it's gone. Ooshka melting waves of sweetness, then its gone, then its gone.

Theres a lyrical cadence to your wordplay here and how youv woven this in such a clever manner too, I especially love “ Snow white waves on smoky pillows taking back the all it gave floating dreams forever fading” thats such a creative way of painting imagery. So artistic! I really enjoyed reading this poem. And i should surely read more of your work. Sending you light always.

Thank you so much for reading my poem. No l cant write much now as l have severe M.E and it has made it hard for me to write poetry as l get intensely tired and brain fog. Writing poetry for me uses too much energy now. Im bedbound most of the day but l do love to read others poetry, it brightens my day. kind regards. J.

Score one for water ! I love this smooth and enticing form, fluid and refreshing. Ooshka surrounding. Brain-bathing delight.

Thank you for kind comments. Water really fascinates me, l can stare at it for hours. Colours reflected in it, one day l'll paint what l see, if l could only slow down long enough. have a great day. J.

The same yet different, to touch yet not to hold. Aptly described. Good choice of words. Hope you are still about and have more poetry up your sleeve. Regards David in NZ now 4 years cancer free.
