Upon the cold rocky shore
The sounding
Of pounding
Is drowning
My thoughts away once more
My blue eyes
See gray skies
That now cries
Teardrops from above do pour
Over sea
Over me
Carelessly
Drenching the ice rain does bore
Freezing cold
Freezing soul
Icy scold
That talks to my spirits core
And I bear
The cold air
Staying there
Upon the cold rocky shore

Gloom

Excellent write, but the question is why?

I really enjoyed that, it had this gentle drifting feeling, that pulled me along with the quick, yet slow pace.Compelling. Does that make sense? It does in my head!
lots of love, gemma xxxxxxx

learning each day, for you and i, our paths have met, i've already learnt that you are love.

Thank you, Cpat Hair,
For taking the time to read and respond

Thank you, regards2you,
Dispelling shock, not actually the reason,
But in a way perhaps it is.
Pleased you liked my words

Thank you, Seymour Tabin,
Why? Probably the same reason I go hiking in the woods in December,
The same reason I often sit in a dark room,
I treasure thoughts and thinking and different environs
Stimulate.
Just the other night I sat out to watch the sky fall
Only to have the warm water and cold air conspire against me
Forming a haze to block my view.

Thank you, gemjop,
What sense any of my words make has been debated,
And that you liked these humble words enough to respond
Makes them worthwhile to me.
As for this form,
A slight modification of one of my usual styles
Adding an extra short line, a further droning of the rhyme.
Pleased you enjoyed it


Gloom
