Notes About The Poem

marooned

weathered and beaten
the tides have cast me back to shore
forsaken and destitute
betrayal hurting far less
than the emptiness now felt inside

Even in emptiness there is meaning. Your free verses are beautiful, Line Gauthier. I used to collect the driftwood in Whidbey Island, shapely, coiled like a snake they were. I added turquoise eyes. They were my nic nacs!

Sad to be like a piece of driftwood inside. Emotive and expressive short work you have penned in this one. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
