That island, there on the horizon
So near, and yet so far away
That seeming apparition
Lost, in isolation
Nearly out of sight
Without purpose
Would be me
Without
You
My response to Sue Vincent’s (Daily Echo) Thursday Photo Prompt – The island #writephoto, with her photo, is a nonet.
Nonet ~ a poem of nine lines and a syllable pattern of 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, with rhyme optional
