Thanks, Robin.

Thanks for having a look and taking a moment to acknowledge what I shared, Julie.

Upturned canoe held above
it serves to deflect a thick skull's
punching glove
as it shields from the sky that rains.
With a circling motion
the dull throbbing drains
from the horseshoe imprint
stamped on my gut,
oars propped up a lumbered strut.
My walking stick stuck in a crack
sidewalk stampedes
would've broke my back
if it weren't for this flipped over boat.
When I reach the shore
with the vessel I tote,
curved side down it's a floating umbrella
pothole puddles
ain't gonna drown this fella.

A heartfelt expression conveyed with evocative impact.

Thanks Nick, I appreciate it.

Yes, artists tend to notice the fine details. When presented with creative flare, these observations can make powerful connections with an audience. As your expression here has done with me, Mig.

I vote. I'm adamant about my position on key issues. The way I vote and my position on issues are indicative of my world-view. If the same is true of someone I'm considering dating, and the scenery in my world-view distorts when superimposed with theirs... we're probably incompatible.

Thanks for your time and interest folks. I appreciate your feedback.

Head above waves when I walk on stilts
and cloud the sea spray stirring the silt.

When the wiseguy's shoes tug on my legs
dragging me deeper this diver begs
a mermaid to share air with a kiss
to resuscitate the tanks with buoyant breaths.

Lifting me slowly from the murky depths
light shafts glint off her iridescent scales,
beams a shade brighter every thrust of her tail.

Pierce through the surface turn my head and see,
a cement mixing thug lurking waiting to sink me.

Thanks, Robin and Julie.
