Cast Down

CAST DOWN

Cast down, his boat and his dreams sank
as his heart and his love fled away.
No tears but his face paper white and blank
Cast down, his boat and his dreams sank.
Ghost memories stream freely fast from yank
shadowing sadness in wells of deep stray.
Cast down, his boat and his dreams sank
as his heart and  his love fled away.

Well executed triolet, Olive_eloi. I like how you chose 'cast down' instead of 'depressed'; the word 'down' goes perfectly with the sinking of boat and dreams. gl in contest. // paul
