Notes About The Poem

Painter: Beth Carver

Drowning In a Sea of Words

The wind is long
The sails ripped and old
The old boat floats barely on the sea
Worthy of little more


Holding thousands of verse
Contemplation's of no use
Simply to fill up space and time
Importance always lost overboard

Less, you see, is often more

Carol B. September 6, 2017 at 10:47 AM I find writing very cathartic. Words can be the life preserver one needs to express themselves. Great poem. :)
