casting doubt

on the harbour wall thinking about life ~ whilst ripples stirred in the sea

a porpoise swam past never to look back ~ a washed up siren wept free

some voice called out its a sign of the times ~ that she was always a he

as i drowned my life flashed by ~ yet all of the bad bits were new to me

I Am Anaya Date: 5/10/2024 1:10:00 PM It's quite natural for life to cast doubts, as it's full of uncertainties and unexpected turns and expressing your doubts can be the first step towards gaining clarity. I like the term "sign of the times" Another fab Monoku!

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 5/9/2024 11:22:00 AM Hello David, How haunting! The imagery - ripples, porpoise, siren - creates a stark scene. The twist with "a sign of the times" is genius, leaving the reader reeling. The final line cuts deep, hinting at a past of hidden struggles. Powerful! - Blessings, Daniel
