The Boat

by Gabrieltheswifter


Stone-still on the pier
yet I know not how to steer--
how did I get here?



5-7-5 Poetry Contest contest entry

Recognized


In my opinion I created this to be a thought-provoking poem about how we sometimes follow a course with vigor and confidence only to reach a point where we ask "Why did I choose this route? What do I do now? HELP!"

The reason why I titled it the boat was because I wanted to capture that moment of the decision making process, where you step off of the pier into the boat.

It is still open to interpretation by the reader.
