For Anoucheka Gangabissoon's After The Party, I Woke Up On A Tropical Island Poetry Contest

Having partied all night on a yacht and then fallen to sleep on a cot, how strange it all was when I woke because on the cot on the yacht I was not! On a tropical island was I, looking up at a beautiful sky. Asleep by my side I saw the tour guide - a charming and gorgeous young guy. I’d blacked out when a storm sunk our boat, but somehow with this man I did float to this nice tiny spot, Like the guy, it was hot and from civilization – remote. As it turns out, the man knew all ways to survive, and we’d been there for days. Well, days became years, but I’ve got no fears. For the man-mate I’m with never strays!

Andrea, you have such a great sense of humor and can relate a story that makes us laugh. I would say you have some natural ability as a poet that few of us can replicate. I suppose that there's no way for infidelity in this case! Did you ever see Lina Wertmuller's film "Swept Away"? It has a similar theme to your poem, but there is an epilogue after the characters become lovers. I think you would be amused by it. She died in the past couple of years and there is a lot of information about her on line. Well worth looking at it is.

Yes. I think I saw it. The ratings for it are poor though and I recall thinking it was not the greatest movie. But I noticed a really old version of it they may have been better. So it was a true story then!

It's about a shrew who gets stuck on a deserted island with a crew member after their skiff engine fails and a storm washes them ashore. After they finally come to terms with the situation and she falls in love with him, he arranges a rescue and buys her a ring with the reward money. The ending is a comment on Italian culture and life in general.

Thanks, Duke. I tend to be eclectic. I believe I saw that movie. It was a box office dud as I recall. I thought it was fiction. I may be thinking of s different movie with same title so I will have to look up her name!

One sure-fire way to ensure a fidelitous relationship, I suppose. A bit overly dramatic...but, hey...whatever wrecks your boat...er...rocks your boat. A delightful piece, Andrea.
