Notes About The Poem

The Surge

storm waves amassed
if only I had waited
for the waves to pass
my poetry could have floated 
gently to shore

This is quite profound, Arthur. The words we write when under severe stress are angrier and less "poetic," I've found. This is a fave for me, my friend! Hugs, Carolyn

But such is life we could be waiting forever for calm weather, battle through the storm I say. Tom.
