Castaway (WOTDC)

~ JezzieG

Inspired by and written for Word of the Day Challenge – thank you, Kristian

Definition: Castaway – n. a person who has been shipwrecked and stranded in an isolated place

Synonyms: derelict, leper, maroon, outcast, outlaw, pariah, renegade, reprobate, shipwreck, waif

Form: Kimo

A life, the great shipwreck of existence
the rebels become outcasts
lepers seen as disease
Society, too derelict to care
closed minds outlaw difference
marooned from social norms

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
