Hopelessness

grounded_
 
      by a sea  …weary

no fish left-
   
      for my nets,
                              of hope

    Oh my! Did you ever paint the picture well dear poet! This is wonderful. I love brevity. Mountains spilled over here with so few words. I wish you well in the challenge.


    Much Love ♥

    Aw, this drips evocative image and I am suddenly wanting to be a school of fish to provide what's needed.

    Love your metaphoric empty of life's bounty seas.It provides readers with the futility of asperations in wanting what just isn't there to be had. Nice work.

    Beautiful write. I liked the ending. Very metaphorical. Makes a person think of life and of how hopeless life can seem sometimes. Thanks for sharing and keep that pen flowing.
