Oceans not here deep waters I fear the terror of drowning a roaring I hear from too many questions and no answers near a sea of emotions the salt of a tear.
Cities not there too many blocks all far too square thousands of strangers a vanity fair millions of voices such a hungry loud bear and bodies which shove and hands that do tear.
Meetings of three you won't find me rather wander alone I say two form the key Any number beyond that And a crowd I do see My small frightened soul will be longing to flee.
Mountains so high enjoy touching the sky rocks slowly breathing their time you can't buy ancient forces that humble every self obsessed cry their shadows to free you from ego's shackle and tie.
Deserts I love ever so quiet sharp clearness above red ball agleaming no hawk and no dove cosmos and self inside a fiery glove dreams of dispersing that's purity tough.
Though Forests.. true home lowly branches my comb everywhere I can hide with the deers I can roam patient trees will grant hold far from faces of chrome here I dance and I sing under the leafy green dome...

About this poem:
I sat down and wrote this after looking at a great artist's website, located here www.stuster.exto.org I saw heaps of pictures, many it seemed to me having to do with oceans and water, and I pondered that this probably means the artist has a connection with oceans somehow. That inspired me asking myself why I do and do not like certain 'places'. This poem sprang from those thoughts, and it doesn't flow as well as I'd like it to flow, but never mind, I enjoyed writing it anyway ^_^
Hi, tinyfangs, It is nice to contemplate Where to find me.... and even nicer when the poet can share those thoughts in verses that illuminate. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all so much for not picking up on the not so great flow of this poem I am more used to story telling, also in poetry, plus I am a bit like Dorothy's tinman I am afraid, my writing needs oiling
Yes, I definitely felt the deepest when I wrote the last part. That's when my heart opened, Serenity4two ^_^
TF.. writing in the abstract is free flowing and quite enlightening as well. You have described places and how they make you feel in this poem. In this respect that resonates a lot of meaning for you and how you reflect which is very good.
