Sand

We’re sand, how easy we descend
Likely to erode more to dust
To slip through fingers of loved ones

The tides carry us to destiny
The currents take us far away
So then there is only water
Andwe’re broken pieces adrift
In search of the ground we need
To be together once again

Very well done, Juju.

I like the the  transitions from the metaphor of sand to that of water and then sublimating the entire poem in its search for stability. You have a powerful way with words.

Given you have a beautiful way with words Juju, I would like to see you one day writing double the amount of lines in each poem

I go through phases of writting longer or shorter poems.  Last summer I had about double that, but most of the time mine are short. I am a thinker so unless my poem relies heavily on visualization for the message, mine are short.  This poem was five lines longer, but they were redundeunt or strayed so they got deleted.  Sunshine wants me to edit my poems and make sure they flow before I post them, so that is what I try to do.  Longer poems usually take me much more time. like a week or a half.  I had one be two weeks.  But it is my style.

there is nothing wrong with you style, so keep it up.

when given 95% or more of my poetry is composed in 5 minutes or less , I'm just lucky. But I did take a week to write one recently

just keep on writing, there is so much more to look forward to come
