Old Friends

Lifelong companions had set off to sail, When a man-made misfortune changed their course. Now, that fearsome feud did blow a strong gale, And distanced the two with vigorous force. Though they were damaged, neither ship did sink, Both drifted further, lost on the ocean. Hatred and sorrow pushes to the brink, Qualmish now, with the ocean in motion. Lonely at sea when they were torn apart, So that same strong wind forced both ships to turn, Calling on the friends to follow their hearts, Knowing deep down, for friendship they still yearn. Follow the breeze, ahead, what would that be? Just two friends that have washed in from the sea. ——————— Date: May 14th, 2019 Poetry Contest: Choices Poetry Contest (Picture #1) Sponsor: Sara Kendrick Poem Type: SonnetKendrick Poem Type: Sonnet
