I set out on my mission With fear and trepidation As I ventured into the depths Of the island vegetation I heard a nervous rustling Along the jungle path Terrified I thought I found A hermit psychopath But it was only kittens Playing together with such glee That I didn’t see the mother tiger Glaring from the brush at me It gave me a sudden notion For a poem about a cat So I took out my little book And made some notes on that I turned and walked up a hill Searching for a placid lake Pulling myself along with An unsuspecting snake The view was quite inspiring I jotted down some notes you see Unseen the snake then left me To write my poetry I started walking to the top But fell into a cave I never saw the spider that I brushed off with a wave I felt my way along a wall Hidden cave I did presume And never saw the opening To a pirate’s treasure room When at last I did emerge From dusty gloomy hole I thought I would wax poetic About a happy scholar mole I sat down by a bubbling stream Sad I’d no adventure to relate I soaked my feet not knowing I’d become piranha bait But suddenly I had a thought An epic poem I’d write So I jumped up and took some notes Till it was almost night All day I’d searched high and low Seeing nothing out of the norm Then made my way back to the beach My fellow poets I would inform They sat upon the sand In a circle ‘round Balladeer Gasping for each breath And shaking in such fear “What’s going on?” I asked Curiosity at this site “You look as though you were on the poor end of a fight” They looked at me in disbelief As I told my innocent tale I found no beasts, no wildness Upon my side of the trail “No snakes or tigers?” They asked Shock showing on each face “Not a one!” I replied “I think this a quiet place!” Here's a lesson, my shipwrecked friends When in need of exploration Don’t send out deVine as a scout She’s got too much imagination! |

~Ms deVine~ This is just lovely! You are an amazing writer. I really liked the different imagery and emotion captured in this poem. The last line gives it a twist of humor, which I too loved. I look forward to reading more of your work! You inspire me!

Thank you all for your kind words...the mission in the Community Poem was to write a poem about what we saw when we were stranded on a deserted island. If you like this, please go check it out in the Community Forum!!!  (and BTW, I think this would really happen to me..I get sidetracked easily by my muse!) |

Your poem brought a smile to my face. I thought it was very humorous. Very cool. Trevor If you want to walk with God, you've got to go His way! |
