Lost At Sea

I get it. I like how you address universal angst in this. It's how I feel about my teaching job, and, to an extent, life in general right now. I just want to give up and slip under the waves, but I can't.

We all want to from time to time but in reality we can't or won't. Thanks Pinkdreams. Appreciate you!!

sad ending I wonder if it's a metaphor for life dragging you out this way and drowning you...I took it literally at first I was taken out by the undertow once scary stuff in any case great write 💕

There was some deeper meaning but for the most part someone drowned and that was the premise of this piece. Thanks Brenda xxo

Powerfully penned, Keith. Great read my friend. Appreciate you.

Thanks my friend. Appreciate it.

Dear K,

A mixed bag of thoughts for this write. The idea of metaphor is excellent because life sure can beat you up and suck you under like an undertow. Recently losing someone whose cause of death was drowning the description in this felt very real. The reality of feeling exhausted as you fight the strength of the sea felt so prevalent. Excellent writing. H🌷

Hello Honoria,

Thank you for stopping by and reading this piece. I appreciate the thorough comments and your amazing knowledge of poetry. I appreciate you.

Stay afloat or i'll draw you down.

Always learn how to swim. We have oceans as our shoreline. We need to swim my friend. Thanks!

This is uncompromisingly written to the title n spirit of it .. in a deeply metaphorical  existential philosophical plane n more..  all in one.. sad though at the end .. death is only the seeming end.. just a pause would say .. for braving souls in eternal continuum ..  

more than happy to be listed, as this is rarity piece of yours in no signature Keith twists or black humour;) but there is some deepening sadness of something dying inner n giving up… before the actual bodily death.. many planes n emotions you write in such minimalism.. fine read xx
