A Quickie

The bubbles have the ocean now. They're headed toward the shore. The navy cannot penetrate. It seems we've lost the war. What does life hold in store? Robert Nehls 6-22-2014

Hi, Andrea. Wasn't too proud of this one and thought about removing it a couple of times and then just forgot about it. Thanks for you comments, my friend. Nice to hear from you... Robert.

Robert Short but filled with lots of insight and a good question at the end. Thank you for the suggestion on my poem format problem and the sweet comment on my Telephone Friend poem.

You are right, Sara. I thought I'd try to force myself to write something, so I made it easy on myself with this quickie. I thought I'd just write down the first thing that came to my mind. I'm glad it was only 4 lines. Thanks, Sara..... Robert
