If turtles use their shells for shelter.
Do fish get wet when it rains?
What is never learned is easily forgotten.
On a journey from here, I am so far away
It's noon with a broken compass
Holding a journal that fades
My tap root snapped in wrinkling hands
Through broken clouds shadows decay
I clutch a fractured crystal prize
No glue will hold it or its flaw disguise
In your chrome and white ceramic tile love
I'm next in line to see the marble judge

Its been a strange sort of a day really, what is a tortoise shell doing on my cat? Your post is a real head scratcher which is refreshing in these horribly serious days.
Thank you so much for your review and comments. Relationships are head scratchers whether they are sound or fractured.
a great write!
distilled lines of insightful, truth
as a cascading waterfall
of seamless, poetry
just a wonderfully
thought provoking, reading experience
thank you, dear Poet
L.B. Your comments are always greatly appreciated and welcome. Thank you so much for your generous remarks.
I literally love the line: "It's noon with a broken compass." I sense that broken compass stands for the path we all take that can get hazy along the way. We're all searching for an elusive paradise. This is a great reflection.
Rocky Thank you for your review and comments. Yes there is seldom a time that you could be more lost than at noon with no compass. This is especially when one is searching for a prized relationship that has been fractured.
