NaPoWriMo Day 25 - Poem for Sunday Muse

 "The Sea Within" painting by 
Samy Charnine 

Sea Within 

What do I see in the 
sea within 
Little glass bowl full of toys 
and one small fishie 
We named her Betsy we 
watch her swim 
She seemed to like us 
could  you love a fish 

It would be so easy were 
your head like a pretty little 
glass bowl 
I sit by hours watching 
when you are asleep 
I wish it were always like 
that glass bowl 
Fishes there to tell me from  
within your pretty head 

Because at times I wonder 
Do you love me like I love you 
There's flowers in the morning 
and chocolate at noon 
Both telling me that 
you love me so very much 

Like I love you

    If I had a glass head, would I have a brain? Only Betsy knows ~~~~

    So glad I don't have a glass head. I wouldn't want everyone to know everything that goes on in there!! A sweet, romantic poem, Jim!

    Both both telling me that
    you love me so very much

    One need not verbalize to be reassured. Classic close Dr Jim. You captured the typical tell-tale signs that one normally look for in body language or circumstances that exhibit tenderness. That itself will lead to the feelings of wanting to be together. It naturally fosters friendship in a good relationship. Great!

    Oh, I love the image you create of Betsy and watching her swim ... and I love this poem and where it led you.

    Clever segue from fish to thought and the conclusion was lovely.
