Notes About The Poem

Disenchanted

in dismay
disheartened
disillusioned
why am i invisible

unheard
hardly discernible
out of my element
i don’t belong

still i will continue
to sing a song
stranded
on my desert island

sending adrift
my message in a bottle

So true - we really have no idea what might become of each of our poems. They take a life of their own.
