In the distance doodling

Wet horizons

Cloudy the view

Sunny side up high

A flock of seagulls

A no man's island

Coconuts hanging

I'm under palm trees

Alone walking on 

Yellow  sandy beach

Crystal clear waters

My coloured pencil

Drawing, doodling on

Paper: right hand top

Corner, I wish I..

Was there. Still drawing 

A female in view

I'm happy I see

I forgot her mouth.

Its quiet! No talking!

I may have to draw

Can't kiss otherwise

With my eraser

She's gone I'm alone

In tranquillity.

I miss her already

Where is my pencil!

Ok I had difficulty with the circuitous route of this one Andrew and cheated by scrolling to your explanation to Sereena. What is interesting to me, apart from how descriptive this is, is some of the sentiments as to why you drew such a doodle. Indeed to share an image of something you yourself longed for?

[andrew mitchell]

I always wanted to have my own tropical island getaway. My daydream escape! So this doodle was like a signature but all the poem is about making changes to the drawing lol Just fun!

Better doodle faster before it slips away!
Love this metaphor , I saw this as those fleeting moments that make an impact but always pass us by.. leaving us with only the memory!

When I use to write letters or send cards in the top righ thand corner I always drew a island with palm trees ,coconuts, behind a sunset with seagullsI in colour so this poem is really a description of that drawing lol Thank You Sereenaramis

After reading your explanation i had to reread your write...oh yes top right hand corner...doodle...Very clever!!

[andrew mitchell]

Its funny how we all interpret each other's works, they present different facets!

[sereenaoutloud]

It really is fun to read other people reviews and how differently every ones take on it is! That is the joy of poetry.. it can be something different to each reader!!

This is a cute write. I love to draw and also paint. With movable objects we have to catch the whole picture or it can slip out of sight. Valentine
