No drowning. An exit is just an entrance to something else, right? At least that's the cliche I know about. :)

Beautiful, Jill....I love the nature imagery and symbolism and the smooth rhythmic flow of this....thx :)

I love this...so clear, concise, and well written.

Having tread water more times than I care to count, I can only say I've been there Jill..and this tells it all so very well.

understatement is saying that I merely love this poem. this poem is one which makes me want to rust along with the poet on the pier, desire nothing less than to drown simultaneously along.

Beautiful. I can envision this piece being put to music. Would be wonderful lyrics.

Exquisite rhyming scheme in this lament that I somehow missed the first time around. I pray for buoys and strong castle walls.

Serious and yet playful at the same time. I know I read this before...and rated it, but for some reason my comment didn't stick. Nice work Jill!
