Life's Boat

Improv challenge set by @naaviie
Words: driftwood, mirror, friction, letter, jigsaw, release.

I was going nowhere pretty fast
Like DRIFTWOOD: life was floating past
Altho I was stagnant in life's boat
I did reply to her LETTER she'd wrote

It was a great RELEASE for me
My emotions poured out quite easily
I'd found my missing JIGSAW piece
Floating down upon the stream

The FRICTION and pain dissolved
In my poem where words i'd written were always untold
I then looked over the boats side
The water MIRRORed a new found smile

Empty

I have an empty bottle. It's here in my hand. I'm going to the beach. To fill it up with sand. I have an empty tub. I'll fit it up with dirt. Finding garden worms. So they won't get hurt.

@naaviie haha no I don't think so.....maybe it didn't come across but was trying to say: words/poems are my missing jigsaw piece in life as often spoken words can be hard to say/express!! Thank you babes 😘
