when we were young poets

when we were young and carefree
we wrote poems in the sky
watching them float away
like clouds on a summer day
as we grew older we drifted apart
like boats lost at sea after a storm
but I am still here poeming away

- Written for dVerse Quadrille: Poem One for Me

    I love the thought of writing poems in the sky though for me the sky does the writing. Sad when lovers drift apart.

    I like the description of drifting apart after a storm.

    Nice comparison with youthful clouds and seasoned boats in poetry.

    That's all we can do, but it makes a difference.

    This is so poignant. I guess with time our poems change and show different hues and shades.

    A melancholy memory of childhood, so beautifully expressed.
