Poetry: Message In A Bottle



Photo Source: Pixabay



Message in a bottle
Swept away by the sea
Secrets held within
Dreams of you and me



Message in a bottle
Tossed to and fro
Emotions hidden inside
Ensnared, nowhere to go



Message in a bottle
Washed up on the shore
Waiting to be found
Love lost no more



Message in a bottle
Read and set free
Never to be trapped again
Our dreams of you and me

  1. I always seem to enjoy storys that include the message in a bottle idea and I like the way you rhyme it into your poem.

  2. Welcome to One Shot Wednesday! Great poem, I really liked your use of imagery. I also liked your romantic spin to a simple message in a bottle. Keep up the great work!

  3. I got a big message in a bottle once, in fact, too many bottles. Red wine bottles, white wine bottles, scotch bottles. I discovered that I was hooked on bottles. I never wrote about them though - just drank everything they had in them. One day I finally got the message - stay away from the bottles. Now I write.
    Good luck to you and keep up the writing - it's great stuff!

  6. I'm glad your bottle was uncorked. Tender poem with a happy ending. Doesn't get much better.

    Now all you need is a Genie in a bottle to go along with that.

  11. Lovely poem, KB. :)

    Thanks for visiting my blog...please don't be a stranger.

    I'd been off-line for the past couple of days...lots of activity going on outside my cabin...tree-loppers doing what their name suggests! So I had know phone and no internet connection...the latter was driving me more insane than I usually am! :)

  13. Always drawn to the idea of a message in a bottle.. perhaps the digital trail we leave now is like that.. to be read years later by a stranger.

  21. I too thought of the song "Message in the Bottle" now I have that looping in my head.
    The last line brings release and stands out. It would be fun to find a message in a bottle.

  23. Ah--this is really lovely!!! And I notice from another post that may be a Stephen King fan--so am I--and my piece this week is a bit of an homage to him--

  29. I want to know what the message said! But I also get the metaphor of the bottle coming to share and finding its home.
