I really don’t know how to start this
Dear Michelle, what on Earth have you done?

You want me to write about skeevers who suck
I think you’ve absorbed too much sun

The only skeevers I really know about
Are those who are afraid to touch

Things that others have slobbered on
Like silverware, drink straws, and such

Is this what I’m supposed to write about?
It’s kind of gross, I don’t think that I should

But I promised I’d do all the writing prompts
And this is the best I could do, hope it’s good!

Goodbye twenty seventeen

Your final days, eclipsed

By bitter clouds of snow

Dancing, swirling about

Making us long for the warmth

Of a springtime shower, or

The glow of the sun against

The blue waters of the ocean

Blankets spread out, picnics

And Frisbee, kites flying

And castles built in the sands

Time slips by, again and again

Goodbye twenty seventeen

Memories of you fade quickly

As a new year brings promise

Of much brighter tomorrows

Love is unfulfilled

When promises are broken

Like empty bottles

She draws you in, with hands like a vise

Promising days of sweet paradise

Crushing your will, the grip is tight

She’ll hold on, til the time is right

Her power over you, indeed, magnetic

Your earthly demise, no longer poetic

Do I dare to dream, in morning light?

Or toss these thoughts aside?

Promises cast upon the sea

Swept away, with the evening tide

I walk along these rocky shores

In hopes that I may find

A trace of you, a subtle hint

Or something left behind

I stand here, chasing shadows

Found in the water’s swell

They circle close, around my soul

Then wish a fond farewell

Was it you I caught a glimpse of?

Can you see me waiting here?

Yes, I will stand upon this ocean

Til you let me know you’re near
