Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

A Shipwrecked Heart's Lament

Written: January 24, 2025 for contest Sponsored by: Miranda Hawley

                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Refuse, to ignite fuse
Whispers weave, wild bruise
Faintly forced into mouthpiece
Child playing robbers - police

Shooting flute inside nose
The breeze seeking repose
Like egotistic carnival clown
Wander behind his frown

Hopes cowards trusted crime
Burned past reveals slime
Salty bitterness sprayed away
Shipwreck on frozen day

Comfort me into restfulness
Never forget next zestfulness
Climbing trees everyday fun
And laughing has begun

Miranda Hawley January 30, 2025 at 8:15 PM There were two trees that my sister and I climbed on the regular at my granny's and buddy's (grandpa's) house. Not so sure about the shipwreck on frozen day, because that sounds horrible, but other than that line your poem is whimsical. Congratulations on your win in my contest.

Duke Beaufort January 26, 2025 at 6:57 AM SP, I'm with you. Having fun is much better as a pastime than not. At least we can enjoy the time we have left!

Ink Empress January 24, 2025 at 11:32 PM The ending is beautiful and comforting to read, in a world that is often like a circus how one seeks for comfort and serenity can be felt throughout this profound and well written poem! I love the way youv written in such a descriptive manner as always dr sotto, especially lines such as “ Like egotistic carnival clown Wander behind his frown” deep and powerful! And “ Salty bitterness sprayed away Shipwreck on frozen day” there’s so much said there in those lines! Best wishes always.
