Is this a metaphor for 'old age'? As of a 'once beautiful' woman? Or do I need to be more literal?

Welcome to WOL. You certainly sound like a well-rounded young lady who will have many avenues to explore through your writing. A sense of 'wonder' is surely the most essential gift a poet can have. And then - application.

This is lovely, beautifully scripted, even if I'm not exactly sure what you are saying. I'm presuming 'death', but not certain.

Look like it’s just you and I for the hadron Cynthia..sorry but no guarantee on re-assemblage. I think that’s why the others chickend out. Could be curious though.

He waved goodbye
I cried thinking
what could heal
my broken heart?
Hi there babe
hot bronzed surfer
care to ride
high flying waves?
Tears wiped away
grabbing his board
I was truly
in love again.
The theme for tonight is waves.

Hi Ray
I really appreciate your thoughtful comments. I think that too many people ignore or just cannot see the infinite beauty that surrounds us everywhere; from the mundane or everyday, the smallest to the greatest, the natural world is its own poetry, its own reality. I hope David Attenborough would agree.
Thanks again.
Chris

To be honest I've not seen this form in use before.
I really like the piece, its content and clever references but I do not think it works in this almost mirror image style.
I would have still voted for the first half as POTw however.
Good work

The pace and languid style really support the nature of the bird Chris; I have tried the three line approach and always find that it leaves air to breathe yet impels one on. A really lovely studied poem that inspired us to consider the subject. I wonder if David Attenborough appreciates poetry? If so this would be a fitting study for him. Congratulations on being chosen this week.

Hi Stu.
This poem instantly reminded me of being a kid, when on a summers day I used to love closing my eyes so I could see the pink of my eye lids and watch the patterns the dust made floating on my corneas. I'd forgotten about it until now. Bizarre I know, a little like your poem. What ever made you think of it?
Enjoyed it very much. Beno.

Hi Laura,
Well, you knew me.... but I never knew myself: still learning. Perhaps you're the Messenger person who taught be about the depth of blue - I recall that.

Hi Ray - thanks for the comment on my blog. I do believe
there's a place for cynicism - purely on the grounds that
I also believe that "cynicism is the last resort of idealism".

Hi Ray,
A very slippery nature of a subject,and as you say we can indulge
So I think you I and Stu should get our coats on and nip over to the hadron collider and see if they will shoot us round a few times and see what happens. Cynthia,Rose,C?l and Fred welcome too. lol

A strong sincere 'message'. Some day, as you read a lot and develop your skills, you might come back to it, and make it a real 'tour de force'. The final verse is excellent. I enjoyed your rhyming.
