Sea level blow out
Broken pieces left behind
Dark sea to reclaim
Inspired by Mark Bialczak’s *great line:
Momentary slip
*Flop forever lost its flip
Soft flesh, sand and grip
Flip has lost its flop
That unmistakable pop
Shoe about to drop
In response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Broken

I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.
Awards: While I am grateful and honored for the numerous nominations, I don’t have time to respond to them with the attention they deserve, so for the most part, I am an award free blog.

I love it, Christy. The flop that has forever lost its flip.

Haiku times two. What a team we make, Christy. Soles intertwined. 🙂

Irene,thank you! I’m just glad it wasn’t the “other” kind of thong. You never know what you’ll find on the beach on a holiday weekend.

You are right. That is not a story I would care to write about – unless it was a comedy.
