Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words

Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

Thrown Away

In response to prompt provided by Sadje – “What Do You see #147”

Thrown away
Tossed overboard
Into a roiling sea
of pain
of heartache

Sinking deep
Waves of despair
Clog the nose
fill the lungs
with sorrow

No perch
Liquid foundation
Undulating underneath
struggling for
lost stability

Voice muted
Disimpassioned ears
Ignore cries for help
anonymity engulfs
faded away

    You’ve captured the essence of the photo perfectly. A real sense of abandonment
