rhyme scheme: A-B-A-C-C-B-A
I'm out of my element, a beached whale that can't breathe, drowning in a world of air. A tattered palm-frond caught up in love's gale surfing upon cascading waves of hope, I defy the odds of chance and elope. A lonely calf, I swim to what's out there, but my impulsive plan is doomed to fail. A tide of lies drains this waterless place where love flounders in barren solitude. A mountain of rot reeking in disgrace discarded by a putrid ocean of fear, with a broken heart and a sand-filled tear. Bobbing in lukewarm pools of platitude, iceberg-dreams dissolve, leaving little trace. (Rhyme) Aug. 9, 2018
