The Dew Drop Inn

The Dew Drop Inn, room number eight
Where my true love patently waits
The Dew Drop Inn, room sixty two
Is where we parted and said adieu

I walked to the beach with much restrain
To relax my thoughts and control my pain
On the open beach lay a lone sea shell
The big ocean became my wishing well

With my bare feet, as thoughts inside played
I waltzed in the water under the shade
I tossed in the sea shell and wished I were dead
The waves tossed it back, hitting my head

When I awoke, the motel was low key,
In our room my love waited for me
Back to reality from a hit on the head
All was a nightmare of dreaming, instead

If I said it before, I can say it again
Welcome to the Dew Drop Inn

Hey, long time! Very nice lyric. Interesting, different from others of yours that I've read. What other good things to say? Take it slowly,sip it like a fine wine, then read it again! OK! Wayne

This is yet another of your beautifully rhyming beauty.It really flows very well. The diction is appropriate, and its simplicity and sincerity of tone can be labeled as its strength.Dew drop, in general, is a very insignificant object, but your lines have really, metaphorically, raised it to the glorious heights.
Wonderful!

Mae, what a cute poem. I want to go to the Dew Drop Inn because I like its name. Your poem is another of your rhythmic rhymers, filled with charm. So glad for the hit on the head and the happy ending - don't like sad endings. Love your upbeat style. June

Ha Ha. eh eh eh. This one made my mouth break out into a big 'ole grin.

The whole poem was one of levity but, I really loved the twist ending. It crept up on me unexpectedly.

Best for me was:
"I tossed in the sea shell and wished I were dead
The waves tossed it back, hitting my head ".

Keep 'em comin'.
