Kelly Deschler Poet Rhyme

Into The Blue

Bowing to the mighty ocean 
Relentless is her pull,
Into the blue depths
'Til she's good and full

Ice took it's first shot
As steady we ran right in,
Sailing along so freely
As a whale on his fin

Crashing, just scraping by
Then onto a dead stop,
I write this letter now
While I sit safe atop

The iron walls creak
The frigid waters seep,
Tilting the floorboards and 
The last tears I weep

A message in a bottle 
Dropped into the blue, 
Do pardon my absence...
I shall not be joining you.

Sotto Poet January 27, 2024 at 7:16 PM Profound and contemplative, as well as aesthetically pleasing, this perspective evokes a sense of introspection. Its imaginative and artistic nature seamlessly guides one's thoughts, and I willingly embraced its direction. Kelly Deschler June 6, 2024 at 4:06 PM Thank you so much ... I appreciate your time more than you know :)

Christina Bowring January 22, 2024 at 9:32 AM This is such a well written, captivating poem Kelly. It’s so atmospheric and pulls the reader into the impending tragedy. The line, ‘The last tears I weep’ is so profound, impactful, as is the last line. A very emotive read. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you :):) Kelly Deschler May 25, 2024 at 12:30 PM Thank you once again for your kind words, Christina, as always :)
