The Blue Pool
A young man sipped limoncello, in a bar in the village square,
He was lonely and heartbroken, you would often find him there,
His heart was filled with sorrow, he felt twisted and torn inside,
When a waitress in a black dress, came and whispered as he cried,

That last line is a stone dropping into the pond. Solid slap of reality. Doesn’t stop us reaching, does it?

Hey Brandon!
There is longing but also a smidge of courage.
Letting someone watch you in real time falling is no joke.
Being vulnerable when it comes to longing isn’t easy.
Takes courage to put yourself out there.
I also enjoyed all the rhyming too.
It’s got meter and rhythm. Very nicely done!

While I fancy myself a romantic, I think I will avoid this Blue Pool. I have loved a few times and may never love again, but I think I do not want to play the fool. Her pool is enticing, her lips warm with arousal, but dear lady, I will remain on this stool. Sorry HJx, I hope you don’t mind where my mind went as I read your poem. -Curt
