So I have created something new from what I felt. [bodytext] =>
As I am sitting on white cloth,
Sipping on tonic hidden in my garment,
I take in the surrounding colored landscape.

Varied vivacious verdants,
Luxurious luscious limes,
Giving of the generous greens,

The pale of soft granular beige,
The meeting of bravest blue,
With the torrents of turquoise,

Yellow, white, grey, and brown,
Colors here are not seldom found.
With all of these that do surround,

In unison of so many things,
And so many sights,
I have found New York's northern lights.

Bummer about the original and the phone. I can relate to completely losing something you wrote. Very cool poem, nevertheless. So, I suppose you could say it's still a success. Tim

Sorry to hear about the original piece (and your cell), but that last line had me finding a smile I thought I had lost indefinitely.

Thank you for the reminder of how poetry is so beautiful, and important.

Great on the colours. I pictured it...and liked what I saw.

Darn good job here.

I feel as though i was sitting wet on a clothe fabric in the sand having just experienced the rush of wave
in the Atlantic where far off one sees
the heavy barges and much farther still off in the distant horizon where perhaps there is
the tip of a sail heading somewhere I know not on the perfectly flat great plane
Only knowing a City that is New York
On its beach near an ocean is where i sit
feeling wet with the sun and its rays
with which there are somehow unforeseen before colors washing over me just now
I do wonder just how alone it must feel

I too wish your original words were saved
because no poem is constructed the exact
way it was first felt
but isn't that the truth
in any light

Peace!

I like this. What I see is an introductory stanza and an ending stanza with the poem in between, brilliant. The journey you take me on has a beginning and end.
