“The Sea Inside” painting by Samy Charnine
Done with this world,
throwing in the towel.
Foul diseases, people
sneezing. I have a
fish-eye view, sitting
on my chair, gazing
at ocean and sky. Why
would I leave? The fish
do not look overjoyed
to be out there.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
Safer in the fish bowl. Smiles.

Now there’s a good idea for social distancing. I like your take on the image, Sara.
