.


The red sun
Through a hole
In the clouds
Over the horizon

A dusk light
Quietly rests
Upon the sea

What the heart feels
About the past
A ship at anchor
On the bay

It falls and rises
With the waves

Falls
And rises
Yet again

After dinner

"Sea in swell
Waves not quite breaking
On the shore

Heaving over wreckage
Remnants from other loves

Beneath the light
Of an autumn moon"

Your descriptive poem had me seeing this picture, and feeling the serenity of it.

A very fine sketch. But I don't understand how this relates to the Harvey poem.

If I were offereing a critique on this I would say how does tht title fit, because it could really be about anyplace. That is the only part I didn't get. The rest is soothing/nice.

K,

"For Harvey" is not a nice poem;
it was difficult to write.
This poem in response was about the
swinging back of the pendulum.

Thanks again to all for reading

John
