Tried distraction, doesn’t work
Applied common sense, not in this instance
Monitored my sanity, you’re not a figment
Tried
To
Focus
But you’re still here
Multiplying in importance
And part of me, forever

Flights of fancy or reality, Aud? And does it really matter? Nice work.

This is an incredibly creative poem ~ shows sides of the artist in you at many different levels ~ great photography (just perfect, natural, chaos), symmetry of the words (in print and alignment) and then of course the meaning. Very, very cool…and sitting down watching that scene of the sunset & birds, just perfect. Cheers Audrey and wish you a good night ~

Blushing hues no one has seen in quite some time…thank you, Mr. Collis. It was a beautiful moment, for sure. I don’t even know how to respond to you sometimes. You leave me speechless. And don’t even say it! Tis possible, Sir. xx

It’s not about distraction, is it? It’s about the presence of someone who makes you uncomfortable, demands too much emotionally or you can’t shake from your heart.
The writing is fine indeed, Audrey

You’re correct, jf. As always. It’s about finding someone who makes you emotionally uncomfortable because they speak directly to our hearts. ♡ Once again, you sort me perfectly. Much love. xx

Stop trying to distract me, Duketh. *laughs at his lame joke* *winks* How rude… What do you suppose they’re after?

*laughing* Sorry!! Umm…well, I bet a shark just died. Don’t you suppose?
LikeLike
You’re not sorry. I don’t think a shark was swimming this shallow, you know. The birds may have been fishing…
LikeLike
Well, a shark wanted to explore, see. So, he came in…really close. Then he drowned cause there was no water.

Poor shark… he was probably quite friendly, too. Must have been a vegetarian, since he didn’t eat any of the birds.
LikeLike
Oh no. Sharks are mean and nasty! I’m sure he tried for one of the birds.

I’ve been told sharks don’t mean to bite. They think everyone is a dolphin…

I think that’s right. Plus, they hate the taste of humans.

Me, too. Vampires do not…

No, vampires like the taste. Bad things!

So true! Definitely a draw back to being their friend.

Yep…thank you, my editor friend. I over looked that in the heat of my distraction, I guess.
