Katie, There is a big difference in being alone and being lonely. Three months in hospital and then losing my leg I was not alone. The staff had become my family. I took up reading and eventually took up writing. You could dictate your poems through a computer. I welcome you to fanstory. Hang on and know we are a big family that support each other.

I was a nurse before my accident. Are you able to be lifted out of bed to get some sunshine?
-
No. I'm bedridden. They need a specific lift to get me in a wheelchair. Then I guess I can go out
-
We used to use a 'Henry Lifter' to transfer patients. Just a sling on a device we could push and drop the patient into a bath or chair. Very handy and being out of bed is very important - stops bedsores. Love, Kay XX

You have a vivid use of words that captures the feeling of loneliness accurately. "Set adrift on a forgotten sea" is a perfect line that describes being disconnected from others and being adrift from others. Excellent use of words and poetic form.

Comment from Shirley Ann Bunyan
A beautifully sad poem depicting the pain of loneliness.
Many poignant words so skilfully put together.
This I found particularly profound.
'My heart, unattended beats solo against
the orchestrated sounds of humanity'.
Well done.

This is a very nice entry for the Lonely Poem writing prompt competition. It has a good presentation, your artwork being a great illustration. Good imagery with the language, very descriptive. Well done! (one note: 3rd stanza, 3rd line, I think you might mean "amidst" judging by the context)

A title that is appropriate to the theme. One particularly striking sentence 'playing solitaire in this game called life,'- a powerful statement and the final line is profound.

Comment from GWHARGIS
This was such a gut wrenching poem. Being in a crowd yet feeling alone. The vulnerability of it makes you feel as if you are tossed about on the sea. No chance of rescue. Your poem was quite eye opening as it conveys the feeling of loneliness. Good luck to you. Gretchen

You describe well in your piece how it feels to experience loneliness. It can really feel as though a person is disconnected from everything around them. A well written piece, I enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are extremely thought provoking. I found them to
be described with words that painted the scene. The poem is engaging,
descriptive, and creative. The artwork is awesome and goes very well
with the theme of this poem. Great Poem!
