Here’s my latest entry into the dVerse Meeting the Bar. This week, Anna is asking us to explore the art of conceit – such fun!
I wasn’t going to even attempt this, but the cruel mistress that is my Muse told me that once I had eaten some dinner, my poetic brain would kick in. I trust her. She is in charge. 🙂
This week, I am looking forward, not back. The past cannot be changed, and yet it shapes your future. You just have to not let it dominate.

Wonderful images.. the sea provides so strong images for you.. being washed up on the shore… wonderful…and glad for the positve end.. yes look forward is the important thing
Thank you, Bjorn. I love the sea, so very much. Perhaps I am part mermaid… 🙂
shipwrecked and yet full of new possibilities that weren’t there before… i like the images you use here to make your point…worn smooth… the tough things in life tend to do this… i like
Thank you, Claudia. Yes, it feels as if life does that – wears us away, makes us rough and paradoxically smooth all at the same time.
nice…see you made it…smiles…the tossing of the waves can be rough but on the other side it takes off what we dont need and smooths us out…all will be okay for sure….smiles…well played…
You encouraged me to open my mind 😉 Thank you 🙂
Nice. Really good images and a sweet hopeful ending. 🙂
Thank you!
love the images of the sea that this generated… and the finish on an upbeat…
Thank you so much! Upbeat is my mantra for 2014 🙂
I love it! “bladder-wracked”, “I rest on the shingle”, and “wind-winged promises” are my favorite bits. 😀
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it – I just wanted to play with the words, and see where they took me!
Nice words placed well…………….
Thank you, Lasha.
I really love the images you have illustratedvyour verse with.
Thank you 🙂
Very nicely done, I’m happy to know you trusted your muse.
She speaks a great deal of sense… 😉
I am very glad your Muse cracked the whip. This is wonderfully done! I’m enthralled, going back for another read.
Thank you, Shanyn!
