Something I have NOT done in years is write poetry. I enjoy prose more, but I used to write poetry almost exclusively. Here’s one I always liked.
Gustar
I’d like to free the night
And walk on the ocean
I’d like to touch the rain
As it drips from the sky
I’d like to hear a whisper
Carried off in the wind
I’d like to see the air
Resting all around me
I’d like to smell the moon
As it sails through the night
I’d like to taste the sun
Setting slowly at sea
I’d like to pick a yellow rose
And never let it die
I’d like to feel you with me
When you can’t be by my side
