Someone Before Me

bird foot prints in the sand

On a lonely shore,
someone had stood before me.
Webbed footprints in sand.

      Thanks for stopping by my blog Simon I just visited your blog and was reading your post about daily writing prompts.

      There are still a lot of active outlets for writing and engaging with other bloggers, I definitely recommend the Blogging University courses.

      All the best with your blogging.

      Thank you Gina, I feel so happy that you found a familiar space in my little poem. The sands in the poem are close to the place where I grew up as a child, these days I only get there (maybe) once a year.

      Peace and Love Gina.
