Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Out On a Limb

Went out on a limb and lost my way 
burned all the bridges I know
a drove of seagulls passed me by  
flapping their wings, they waved goodbye 
Now I'm heading your way,  
and I pray the ocean leads me home.

Christuraj Alex August 1, 2021 at 12:17 PM Your writings are great. Thank you also for commenting on my writes. I think, even till the end of my life, I will never forget you as the person who made the first and best comment on my work when I entered Poertysoup. Unfortunately, I deleted that two-line poem as I personally found some flaws. I grow because of you.

L Milton Hankins July 31, 2021 at 9:48 PM Marvelous, Vie. This is such a lovely little poem and so full of imagery. I have often walked the beach to the squawking of the gulls and felt like their wings were waving goodbye.
