An island, or: No man’s

A HexSonnetta

Folks think her good-natured;
She often overhears
It said she's "such a dear."
Really though, she's wagered
That none know her major
Concern is her career.

Truth is- people bug her;
Still, she always smiles and-
Has a polished style and-
Steady, grips life's rudder-
Never someone's sucker;
The goal? A small island.

She'll smile but she won't play-
One day, she'll get away...

Good-natured

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
