Kim Rodrigues Poet Acrostic

Message In a Bottle

What trouble’s brewed in the sea. The bold lettering spells it out.

- says the poet

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE

B  eached on this death trap island, and bereft

o  f  bread and lodging.  Have you found my

t  ow? Desperately need you to return it!

T  errible storm tossed me overboard. Waves high.

L  ying!  It was my first mate! He’s had a laugh at my

e  xpense.  He won’t forgive me for drinking his rum…
