PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I remember that day so long ago

when my family all went to the local store

and I discovered the traveling art show

paintings had they on every wall

price so low that even I could buy

and I did wandering gaze upon them

but until I did come upon one

a scene portrayed that I have not forgot

a violent storm crashing upon

a stone dock from city ancient

banners torn within the wind

tatters only did there remain

hung up on upon pillars strong

standing forth in the pouring rain

lightning flashed within the storm

waves rose so high then fell upon

docks were which no ship was tied

there so lonely with in the storm

and a price I could afford

and I wanted it to buy

but my mother would hear it not

and in her house it would not hung

many years now have I sought

never again for me to see

always searching for the painting lost
