My Friend Goe
My world is full of yesterdays
And long forgotten tomorrows
Where I ladled oceans
In a tempest full of sorrows.
Today my continent shifted
And Atlantis drowned once more
While the people sang Old Rover
And The Corner Master Store.
My rocking chair is beckoning,
But my homework‘s overdue;
My friends are naught but spectres
And once more I‘m missing you.

Bruce:
A nice surprise to see your post today...and a rhyming one at that. Some nice imagery here....ladeling oceans, shifting continents, especially. Hope all is well with you north of the border.
Joe
Very nicely done, Bruce. Good to see your name on the board again.

Joe, thank you. Poetry has been hard to come by for me these last few years. Too much work and too little tranquility. That and it all seems to want to rhyme. *laughs.
Les, it is good to be back; I have sorely missed this place.
I like it. It reads like a wistful breeze, contemplative and reminiscent.
May I suggest "And once more I'm missing you," for rhythm's sake?

Love the opening lines!
Nutmeg, I have done so.
KQ thank-you very much.
