Stranded On This Island

Down by the sea
Waves lap up the beach
Repeating it's song
Out on the horizon
A mirage of dreams
Forgotten lands ripped at the seems

Stranded on this island
creatures for company
Natures true wild ones
Don't try and rescue me

Up on high ground
Wind whistles around
Singing it's song
Out on the horizon
A mirage of dreams
Rotten lands raped for oil that bleeds

Stranded on this island
creatures for company
Natures true wild ones
Don't try and rescue me

In through the forest
Cries break the mist
Screaming my song
Out on the horizon
A vision in dreams
Hurting Mother Earth is in need

Standing on your island
Egos for company
Natures true bad ones
Won't try and let her be

Stranded on this island
creatures for company
Natures true wild ones
Don't try and rescue me

Nice one, it's a shame that we are brought up to destroy mother nature though, we need a revolution from the ground up. Hopefully this year will bring proper change.

I really don't know how you and@Stablish and the others to these poems. They are really good if I done one it would be awful, something like The cat had a shat in his hat. Lol

Do these poems, that meant to say

@glensaggs lol, we've all got our own style, I reckon you could make a really funny one. You should have a go.😃 ps. Hope things are well.

@glensaggs I don't know how either mate. You know when people just chat shit off the top of their heads, it just comes out. That's what happens when I start writing, I just let it all out, then go bac and edit it a while later from a different mind set, lol to see if it makes sense. Just mix up the rhyming pattern in a paragraph of 4 lines (1st and 2nd ryhm and 3rd as 4th rythm with different rhyming sound or just mix it up, alternate, or don't rythm at all, lol ) I don't know worth a shot tho?

@smellyfingers once I've rewritten my stories, I'll try one mate.

Fantastic!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

@glensaggs agree with @ Stablish expression is about being individual so just relax and write what comes to mind 😊

And once again @smellyfingers love it 😍

@glensaggs look forward to them mate. Just write about things you know mate. Keep it simple and experiment. The fat cat sat on a mat is a good start. Try some adjectives. The big fat ginger cat, sat alone on the mat.....then you create the image or picture. Something like that anyways, count the syllables too and experiment. I don't know I'm no expert Lool. :-)

@michga thank you honey xxxxx :-)

@aleishagayle20 Mwah xxx thank you

I really like this one. Makes me think of the true story about a young Indian girl stranded on the channel islands off the coast of Santa Barbara U.S. When the missionaries sailed over to get her she refused to leave. She's now buried in the SB mission.

@ckahn really? That cool and a great story, how old was she?

@ckahn wow! And @smellyfingers great I love your writing and this is amazing! It just makes me think of someone so carefree because they live next to nature I've always wanted to live like that but I don't think I would where would the toilet be?! :D

@lonelynutmeg98 haha thanks. I think the lavatory might be the least of your worries if you was stranded tho ;-) x

@smellyfingers I wouldn't be too sure :D

She was roughly middle age. She lived there for about 20 years. She finally left in her 50's then died 7 weeks after arriving in Santa Barbara.
