Stories Half-Told.
The bosom of green sea heaves,
and today
cold spume trails white rollers
across the bay.
Fresh winds spin sand,
and staring
at roofed sky, rocks look
almost calcified,
and hunch there until dry.
Empty the beach which
myopically views
distant horizon through mist,
still unused
lie two large logs
of make-shift seating we boldly
dragged to an unlit fire.
Stories half-told ultimately
need an ending,
so that we never forget
last summer's affair, and the day
we first met.

Oh for those wonderful days of first meeting... and the overwhelming curiosity of what happened next. I hope the years will be kind and present the other half of the story!

There are few poets who write romantic poems as well as you do, Fay, and this one tells an absolutely charming tale from beginning to end. Your imagery is quite exceptional in this delightful romantic tale! Carl.

Nice, nice write. Great use of words and form, I really enjoyed reading this poem. Indeed, we never want to forget such things.

This is beautiful, to me it seems the story has been told fully but could use a sequel!

Excellent personification elements here, Fay, highlighting a haunting story of nostalgia.
