The waterfront will be closed in winter.

On my dining table there was no bread

Only the picture lay there instead.

But it wasn’t fair

That wasn’t its rightful place

Thus after sometime there was no trace

Someone made off with it.

I know the person well

But I didn’t point out

A trivial, there are greater things to worry about.

After all the effort I was sorry

However it has generated some poetry.

To take the cues from this

Whenever I am wronged,

I remember the day will pass

Nothing is static and staid

But is forever sailing,

It is sailing like a mermaid.

    Great poetry although I’m sorry it had to be inspired by a loss. I love how your artwork always depicts movement. The mermaids are delightful.

    Great work. A journey that starts from a piece of bread to a divine swimming mermaid. Excellent!

    Nice poem and painting again, liked it, keep it coming, Wonder.. but I am a bit confused when you mentioned “Hi friends,I shall miss you for sometime”… what is it? I think I did not have enough sleep so the mind not clear did not get your meaning…??

    Dwelling too much on the past only hampers our ability to succeed in the future.
