Marooned

Bound up, restrained my skin's too tight, I want to howl the moon. I wring my hands fright is my plight ev'ning comes too soon. Mirrors quiver in ambient light to an aged crone, I croon. No where to run at each twilight alone, inside, marooned.

An emotional write, Debs! You are in no way, by any means, "an aged crone"!! I would know, I've met you! You are the adventurous spirit, kind, sweet, and complete! Great imagery to set the mood for this outstanding write! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

The dragging frustration of loneliness written in every word. I love the title and last word.

I can visualize the large full moon having her way in this melancholy poem in kindred spirit with the moon. Loved it Debbie.
