Written in the Stars/Poetry Day Ireland!

Written in the Stars/Poetry Day Ireland!

A reminder from Jim Owens that tomorrow is Poetry Day Ireland ~ Theme ~ Written in the Stars. Well day early here goes. This one I wrote a number of years back and it sort of came true.

 Flat Calm

Twiddling the knob
On the radio
Listening to weather 
Reports
Sea areas
At.

Scatterings of noise
And traffic
Flat calm
A corpse bobbing
On the ocean
The seismic
Shifts.

Nuances,
The general synopsis
At.

Listening, to
The ebb and flow
Of tides
Lapping on the shorelines
Waiting, for
The tramp of feet.
