Strayed Sheep
Cliff hanger story -
Freshly shorn scrawny
Steady assembly ruptured
Atop rocky bluff rugged
Shivering survival questionable
Seceder’s dream quenchable
Reject herd abide proffer
Select solo sailor prosper
Convention no obstacle
Escape is ewe’s oracle
Exit existence normal
Explore expanse nautical
Divorce merged marriage
Discover ocean massive
Ewe Turn deviate, lucid
Longs for longitude lurid
Leave safety of kennel
Wayward walking karakul
Stripped of her heavy jacket
Staggers down slope jagged
Ceases to be clone imitated
Intrepid sheep not intimidated
Sea spray hasten
Shelly cove haven
Upgrading basic graze
Horizon holds her gaze
Distance from flock’s faith
Determined for further fate
Declines enclosure
Entertains exposure
Among cluster, deficient
Embankment descending delinquent
Evicts herself of contest
Evolves self fulfilled conquest
Disdain for the brethren
Useless Ewe blended in
Refuses group apprehend
Triumphant Turn ascends
