Message In a Bottle - Here - John

Our excursion brushed past bashing tides.
An uncharted desert shelter
is where the vessel resides.
Stripped of rhyme and reason;
I behold demons
strumming spiked lyres
yielding me
lonely 
here.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 4/10/2011 9:04:00 AM Sent you a Soup mail, John. I hadn't posted the poem. After reading your blog, I thought you were looking for poems about main courses, not candy. I just posted it now, so your contest has closed. Just wanted to be helpful, not expecting to win. Have fun with the contest judging. I'm not big on writing about food. Been having health problems and am on a strict diet now. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 3/4/2011 9:49:00 AM Well done, John! I enjoyed the perspective you took. On an uncharted desert island, I imagine demons would haunt us. The first line is awesome - creative description and a touch of alliteration. Wishing you success in the contest. I have been working on something that's a bit "out there" for your contest. Keep rewriting and revising. Hope it's okay to write about a real person. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
