An ekphrastic Minute poem- contest entry

Castaway

by ~Dovey

Storm of emotion, an ocean
set in motion
pent up for years
A flood of tears

Composure's fake -  weak gate at stake
When dam would break
no words to speak
or solace seek

'Twas clear to see, when you left me
it had to be
Stone cast the day
you went astray



Minute contest entry
