Until next year my love. I think that is the translation. An anniversary picnic. I found this sad. I felt the grief here. For a loved one to disappear without trace, grief beyond measure. Yet there is something so menacing about seagulls. Thanks for posting David. I enjoyed the read.

Feelings of loss, a yearning for what once was. All this and yet I sense a deeper metaphor into that by the salmon, cheese and wine, and how they were accepted by the birds nicely written.

there are some who still prefer the darkness, but your poem shines like a bright beacon egging them on to enjoy the bright daylight and all it represents
great poem

Fine words David but the beauty of the night shows such wonder to me especially sitting outside in the summer nights with a glass of something tasteful by my side.

Funny you’d say that. It was raining all last night and the mercury dropped you’d think it would slip backward to winter! We did the laundry with the damp, overcast sky - the laundry liquid is Waratah scented as well. Pretty confused climates youda thort we were in Melbourne.

A beautiful expression of the dichotomy between day and night stated. I love the line. God ran out of ideas. And also- Cover up the darkness with something even darker. Beautifully stated

This poem leaves me with the feeling of Steinbeck, Hemingway, and Joseph Conrad. It is highly literary and set the scene with imitate that is wondrous and beautiful. A masterful work.

How’s the Kiama blowhole these day! So tucked away you’d miss it at the next street. Used to love driving to Geroa and Gerringong. The cemetery by the cliff has an amazing vantage point- in a storm as well!

Such beautiful words in a haunting poem, the warns of the pain life gives out. Classically worded it itself, calls out from the far beyond. Wonderfully written.

Reminds me of my Dad. I suffered terrible nightmares as a small child and I would scream out for him. He was always there. He was there for me right up till the day he died. This is a beautifully composed poem. Speaks to me of fatherly love and protection. Much enjoyed David. Thank you for posting.

A type of short saga that speaks to the heart of anyone that has had children and in this metaphor may be speaking to one\'s own inner child.

Interesting method of tying together of several unrelated events through items on a shelf. This poem has become a tapestry
