James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

Perhaps

Perhaps...

Life in peril

The arctic sun never sets
Ice thickness recedes

Global warming squeezes
Grandma's smile

Her friend, the Polar Bear, dies
Her cup of tea....cold

Hold the rocks you believe
Never let go their grasp

In time, no one remembers


            no one

                         remembers

Nancy Jones November 6, 2011 at 1:12 PM There's a saying about letting go of the grasping and jumping into the river, keeping your head up, going with the flow, and celebrating who's in there withya. Is one of my faves, you familiar? Thanks for the write, JMG, beauty day to ya~N
