National Poetry Day - My contribution...

Okay it needs work but I do think there's a poem in there somewhere


For All The Lost Girls

By Melinda Szymanik


They’re calling my name
But I’m not her anymore.
Interrupted
By chance,
Picked up
Put down,
Lost at sea
Buried in the sand
Wrecked.

There’s no outlook,
No chance of stormy weather
Slammed doors
Lost touch.

Pitch a tent,
Query the neighbours,
Let the dogs out.
But I’m gone
Whatever you find
I’m not her anymore.
