Rudderless

tossed back and forth, a wilted flower floated, in whirling currents~ our life moves on rudderless, to be cast in unknown shores. Nov.14.2022 ~ Placed Third~ A new Hiku Footle Tanka Poetry Contest Sponsor- Brian Strand

Dear Valsa, your brilliant brevity shines upon the poetic page with metaphorical beauty and wisdom. Indeed, life’s unpredictable currents may cast us on unexpected shores.. which may or may not be a blessing. Your artistry never fails to amaze me, my inspiring friend. Congratulations for your excellent win in Brian’s contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

No matter how well one deals with life's struggles, still, no one can predict one's destiny. Intensely realistic Valsa! Love it...ab

We do need to hang on, Valsa. Although i agree does seem like the current is becoming too strong. Harry

Amen love it, for man is directed by the tongue and by this we can tell what directs there path, as a large ships rudder it what directs it path, we should take notice of this wonderful poem and seek what directs our path, not to be being tossed around in the sea,but grab ahold of that boat with a rudder headed straight back to shore, love and God bless
