Lost

One wrong turn, made in the dark of night, alone
                                        Navigating unfamiliar roads
                                     Headlights dim and flicker, soft   
                                              Dangling mirror cross                                                                 
                                                     All alone
                                                       LOST
                                                  no cell phone
                                           There's someone far off
                                        Unseen, abandoned, what cost?
                             A click, the engine dies, bone chilled, cold
                           One wrong turn, made in the dark of night, alone

Your strong imagery gave me chills, Laura, as if I were there in that dark of night. A wonderful double Andaree! All the best for the contest. Hugs, Sandra

Thanks, Judy! My first version was the wrong form for the contest, so I had to change it. Liked the first take better, though!
