Twenty Six . . .

Clams in love
By Stormcat

There you are
Right next to me
Safe inside your shell

And here I am
Right next to you
Safe inside mine too

    Equal perhaps, but very much alone?

    Much truth in this. Quite perceptive

    Both amusing and bitter poem! Not the kind of equality we crave for really.

    Well done. Bookends. For any other purpose the shell is too high a price for equality. Equaly squelched seems like a major reversal.

    Sometimes it is hard to be closer than the distance of the outer edge of the shell.

    Six simple lines that manage to speak volumes. The irony, eh? So close and yet, divided by their very own shells. Brilliant poetry. :)
