to skip a stone

 

 

i have lost my way, poetically

too many words saying too little

time to start over, time to remember

what the point, for me, of poetry can be

 

~~~

 

countless shells

   along the tideline

beautiful shells

 

   but not a stone 

among them

    i want a stone

 

         a skipping stone

 

and the strength

   to skip it across 

the gulf to you

Good restart. This is fine, tightly focused poem

Why can't one find a skipping stone when one needs one? :-)
Love the poem and the feeling. Distance seems to be an issue lately with me as well. You haven't lost your way poetically. It's in you. Keep writing about anything and everything, and let it flow.
