Lone Fox (Poem by Mark Borne)

Sometimes I looked out at the endless sea,
Wondering what was left here for me.
The tears began to sting my eyes,
As if I was one who at sad sights cries.
But then I got up as my eyes fell upon a lone fox,
At that moment, the whole world seemed to fit in a box.
Funny how even the simplest of creatures,
Can prove to be the most relaxing of features.

  1. I like this one! It's style is very different than what you normally do, and it's a fun change of pace.

    Do you normally write your poems in couplet form?

    1. The style definitely is different

      I'm not sure what that means, but I think "No" is a safe answer. Nothing about this poem is normal for me, except that it begins with a rather depressed mindset and ends on a cheerful note

    2. Lol. Except for it being bipolar. You are like two completely different and contradictory people mushed into one

    3. And the bipolar part could be described as going from depressing to cheerful xD

    4. In any case, I do feel this is one of my better non-funny poems. And I'm glad to have been able to give my favorite creatures a place on this blog :D
