Daily Writing Prompt Day 2

Poem Prompt: Write a poem in any form or style, but frame it as if it was a message in a bottle that's washed up on a beach.

Perhaps you have found this years later

Late may be only a few months or few years

Either way it did eventually reach you

And that is all I truly desired

So hear me now as this is last thing I do

Everett my dear please forgive me

For even though I know I was wrong now

Oh how obstinate I was

Rightly so it was of you to cut me off

Grandma would have been something I would have died to be called

I am so sorry that this will be the last I ever write to you

Very little time for me anymore

Each day I hope and pray to be rescued

My time is not long on this earth anymore so I must say once again

Everett dear I apologize for how obstinate and stuck in my ways I was

I chose to do a axrostic poem where it spells out "please forgive me". The way the poem came to be is I decided to imagine a mother who got stranded on an island for a while and one of her last acts was to make a message in a bottle in hopes that it eventually would make it to her child. I chose Everett as the name because it worked into the spelling of "please forgive me"
