Notes About The Poem

After the party, I woke up on a tropical island Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon 06/09/2024

Tropical Island

Tears behind the cocktails,
Rowing down to calmness
Oasis was found,
Pure life's gratitude
I found after my mistake.
Confident I feel while I'm breathing loneliness.
Awake with open eyes
Lonely in a tropical island.

Isolated in the middle of the world, I wonder. I wander.
Sun shines above me with compassion, but I'm struggling.
Lucky that I saw a boat I could call its attention.
Amazing I found the gate from beauty to engage reality.
Nice to wake up in spite of having a 
Delightful dream, or a nightmare, sweating in bed.

A very descriptive acrostic, which really created the imagery of an island... Nicely constructed Maria..
