This was a pleasant read.

At first, I wondered if "shifty" was a typo... then I got it. I've tumbled through that desert more than once, always losing my way. Footprints in the sand only seems to work on beaches!

Thanks, Steve.

I love this, Steve

You were clearly in the zone when you wrote it; the flow is incredibly smooth. Everything shifts, yes? :)

!

I really like this...

So, how DO you hold

a hurricane in a cup,

lightning in a bottle,

a phantom wind,

a tsunami tamed?

Nice work. Thanks

Smooth is right

I love this poem. I wish my muse was as obliging.

Great work, steve.

excellent........

...imagery. the one spot that really took my eyes in was this:

So, how DO you hold

a hurricane in a cup,

lightning in a bottle,

a phantom wind,

a tsunami tamed?

A mirage, though unreal,

still more than enough

to keep you searching

because you cannot help

how you feel.

overall this piece is very fluid......very nice......
