Line Gauthier Poet Ekphrasis

Notes About The Poem

It rained throughout the trip

Lousy cruise is finally over.
We didn't visit a single freakin' island.
Should have gone Peak Season.

Line Gauthier November 20, 2025 at 7:51 AM The funniest thing is that it seems several people didn't look at the image and assumed I was complaining about a disappointing cruise I'd been on ~ lol
