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.
