Message In A Bottle

Ship wrecks do happen People get stranded On a small island Then build their shelters Make beds from what found Search for their food Then search for water Find a bottle and cap Find bark to write on Sending a message In a bottle to Anyone to find Hoping the bottle Will return to them The wait could be long Anyone to find Hoping the bottle Will return to them It could take months Months or years For the message to be found Or it could never be found Floating in water Unttil it is fpound

This poem beautifully captures the quiet hope and resilience in isolation. The imagery of sending a message in a bottle feels both literal and symbolic—a powerful metaphor for longing, connection, and the human spirit. Thoughtful and touching

Interesting poem "Sending a message In a bottle to Anyone to find Hoping the bottle Will return to them The wait could be long" dear friend Darlene. Hoping that someday my message or a hope would reach to its destination is a great quality of life. With best wishes...Subhkaamnaaen ....Ravindra

Hello Ravindra, Yes Ravindra the wait would be long. To wait for the bottle to return. I think a message in a bottle would take time to reach anyone to find it . then readit and put the bottle back inot the water to return to who ever sent it. Best wishes my friend, Darlene/

We can enjoy a good write, movie, series about a shipwreck, but we don’t want for that setting. Last hope of a bottled message. Sending it forth, forgetting about it, for the likely outcome is despair; however perhaps God will hear one’s desperate prayer.

Well described. We still wonder about Amelia Earhart...hoping she survived happily on some deserted Island with her boyfriend co-pilot. Who knows? Poets are romantics by nature.
