[Every Monday (until I run out of them), I’m posting a poem of mine that has fallen out from the submission process for some reason. In most cases, it will be one where I’ve received no response to my submission for at well over a year or more. Maybe the magazine I submitted them to has folded, the submission was lost in the post, or whatever. So, these poems can be seen as lost, orphans, of uncertain status, or something like that.]
These poems are also posted to ABCTales.
Becalmed
This morning all my thoughts are gone.
Gone to wherever thoughts go
when they are lost in their own seas.
No longer tossed by vindictive waves
that churn and boil in useless fury.
But becalmed on seas stretched taut
like glassy silken sheets spread
from horizon to distant low horizon.
