Island haiku


if stranded on island
all i need is a  white ball.
Call me cast away
 

Id name the ball wilson
Hearing his voice
Wilson's intent becomes clearer
 

Time goes forward fast,
i got good at spearfishing,
and building rafts
 

Wilson is talking
Telling me to get back home
Its time to test skill
 

Raft thats built stronger
Survives longer in the sea
Weather looks at ease
 

After days at sea
Weather takes a turn for worst
This raft turned hearse


Get found by a ship
Still alive, but barely.
Wilson, no one found.
 

My name is noland
was lost, but not forgotten
call me cast away.
