Lots of Bottles

A million plus blue bottles
washed up upon a shore

Each and every one with still
a sting in it's tentacles

And gasping for air

And along for the ride rode
a single blue bottle with a
message inside

Forewarning of the danger of
bottling thing's up

For fear of being told by other's
 to shut up

Come on Christopher don’t bottle up anything, get it out there, hurts to much to keep inside, unleashing your thoughts into a poem, is so cathartic, cheers David

Like it, Chris! It seems the single bottle floated apart from the others, wanting to be noticed but afraid.
