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.

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

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
