Monty’s Very Short Shorts – #Island

#Island

Lance Bumbleworth @Threads

I Stand Alone (#Island)

I stand alone,
An island in a sea of strangers,
That come and go with the tides,
Some with fleeting greetings,
Passing niceties – meaningless.
Others with distancing stares,
Silently remarking that I am other,
All temporary inhabitants
That lap up to my shores,
Then wash away – I prefer it this way.

If you enjoy these very short stories, you can also check out one of my earliest books – MONTY’S VERY SHORT SHORTS which includes 366 illustrated pieces (one for each day in my life of 2020).

Be well,
