He thinks she might know
Her love waits upon rocky beach
For reason unseen standing there
Alone before they meet

Lovely poem, and it makes the picture come alive, knowing why he was alone on the beach.
November 7, 2010 at 11:09 am
I love that picture. Wrote four short poems for the prompt! (3 weren’t so good lol)

beautiful Dustus…
November 7, 2010 at 6:48 am
Your poem encompasses the vastness of possibilities.
November 7, 2010 at 2:52 pm
the sky in the photo definitely prompts me to think of “vastness.” Thanks, nice take on it.

Adam do you know why I like reading your poems? It is because your words are few, but say so much. Beautiful image, both poem and picture.
November 7, 2010 at 11:10 am

Alone before they meet – such unexpected calmness in those words. Love it 🙂
November 7, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Thanks also for the shout out on Twitter 🙂
November 7, 2010 at 12:15 pm
With so few words you mirror the mystery I see in this photo. Blessings.
November 7, 2010 at 2:48 pm
tyvm… enjoy the rest of Sunday 🙂
November 7, 2010 at 12:31 pm
Hard to compress all that emotional nuance into a few phrases. Your style is unique, and effective I think because it seems your natural voice and as if no one else quite speaks that way.
November 7, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Sincere thanks.
November 7, 2010 at 12:39 pm
hi adam…the photo was such a draw….your words work perfectly with this picture…excellent stuff my friend
November 7, 2010 at 12:43 pm
thanks, buddy. It’s awesome to sit back and watch you at the top of your game. Your last crop of posts have been fierce. Congrats, Pete. Write On!
November 7, 2010 at 12:50 pm
Love the scripted poem, beautifully presented and well-crafted words. The title gives the poem a bit of a haunting flavour.
November 7, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Good way of putting it. I find love haunting at times. TY 🙂
November 7, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Beautiful words to coincide with a beautiful picture. Short but sweet–calm but with a twinge of longing. Lovely.
November 7, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Nice work again today, Chris. I think people are beginning to realize your hard work. Smiles on a great One Shoot, brother.
November 7, 2010 at 1:55 pm
I like the way everyone has their own take on one photograph. Thank you for sharing Adam. Very poigniant.
November 7, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Learned that you are an accomplished poet in your native tongue. Glad to see you posting again, shan I’m still a fan 🙂
November 9, 2010 at 9:25 am
I hope you haven’t googled me, that could be rather embarrassing! Not so much accomplished as practiced, and English is a whole different ball game 🙂
November 7, 2010 at 2:51 pm

November 8, 2010 at 8:24 am
Glad you enjoyed the Sunday festivities 🙂
November 7, 2010 at 3:40 pm
There is such hypnotic simplicity in the image of ‘alone before they meet’.
Thanks for dropping by my place and leaving a comment!
November 8, 2010 at 8:25 am
Thanks for taking part. I’m already looking forward to next week’s prompt.
November 7, 2010 at 4:38 pm
I love the wanting and waiting undertone to this poem. There’s something seductive about the words and image. I was compelled to read it again and again. Well done!
November 8, 2010 at 8:26 am
Excellent. Thanks for re-reading it. I like when poems prompt me to do that too 🙂
November 7, 2010 at 5:32 pm
I like the rhyme, and the complex syntax. Good stuff.
November 8, 2010 at 8:27 am
Good of you to point out the syntax on this one. Cheers
November 7, 2010 at 11:48 pm
lovely thoughts of knowing…we all know don’t we when someone loves us…bkm
November 8, 2010 at 8:28 am
Must admit, I’m kind of clueless sometimes. lol
