Hi Tom,
I like how you end this sad poem with a bit of humor and a nod to the TV show Gilligan's Island. At least they weren't lonely. They had each other.
Good luck in then contest.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Not seen the program but your poem here left quite a deep message for me, when we are surviving and living hand to mouth there is no time for loneliness as we are striving to live. Many of us wallow in pity for ourselves when we have everything at our fingertips and we are just ungrateful, a poignant write, those skeeters sound terrifying! Ha ha ha Love Dolly x

Comment from Gloria ....
This is so original. Of course Gilligan's Island is a great metaphor for being stranded all alone on some desert island somewhere.
Wishing you great luck with the voters.

My luck is like Eeyore's. If it isn't bad I don't have any at all. If I was a politician, I'd finished last. I am in it for payola! :-)
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
A very good poem. The use of descriptive words helped me understand how the shark would feel.it seems it is swimming around Gilligan's Island. I will never watch one of those reruns again, the same way. :))

That's funny. The way you placed yourself in the person's stead and realized the dangers. Now, answer this. Why did you steal the boat? :-)

Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
Wow. I loved this...anything water based...You had me from the first line!The last lines, well I didn't watch Gillian s but I actually thought you were using British slang. Exceedingly well, as to me as a British person those names all mean quite rude but very amusing things.good luck this is amazing love Meia xx

Thank you Meia. Nice to hear from the British Isle. Mum was a descendent from Liverpool. Know any Goldstraws?
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Who's to Blame?, gives voice to Gilligan perhaps who has set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle. Yes, like Robinson Crusoe, except likely dead soon.
