falling behind a bit... didn't feel like/was too busy livin' to right the Two for Tuesday Love Poem/Anti Love poem - though I might have something to say on the subject.
Anyway. here is today's. For today's prompt, take the phrase "(blank) Island," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write the poem. You could do a well-known island, such as "Treasure Island," "Ellis Island," or "Total Drama Island." Or you could make up the name of an island. Or you could even have a long drawn out title, such as "You'll never get me on an island" or "If I were on a deserted island."
Solitude Island
It's okay.
Take your boat and row
past the crests past
the swells
get so small
i can barely see you
i will miss you,
probably,
as long as I can see you
little thing out there
but when you're gone
long gone and not coming back
i will notice
how my pulse beats
with the waves
how i lay back and become the full size of my island
not an island really, but behind a door that has closed,
i become the full size of my island
become the waves the sand the waving trees.
solitude is peace.
I swim naked in it all day and at night
I curl
contented
a warm and wordless creature
warm
and calm without a word
