I:
our flotilla;
your cupped hands
the grace of my rib cage
as we drift toward
the shelter of a quiet cove
II:
my hair tangles
the valves of your heart
holding you at bay
for a moment
till I return your breath
III:
the children we were
play together
share ev'ry secret
rolling in the grass, always
laughing in our dreams

*smiles* Thank you, walker, that's very kind of you to say, and I'm glad you're enjoying the set. I've written Japanese poetry short forms for years which I studied. Nice to see you here.

Fine work X 3! I love this Jade. That last stanza is a scene I still dream about from my own childhood. Must be losing my marbles...........

Awww, my crowfly friend, many thanks! I never learned how to play marble games so perhaps you will teach me sometime?

the title felt a bit redundant with the theme of three. I really like the beginning exposition; and the ending of this poem is very deep with a sense of eternity.
