Question:

What do you think of this poem about Robinson Crusoe?

Cast out from the sea
A sole survivor
Isolated in the desolate unknown
Having to start from a clean slate.

Resisting the wishes of parents
He had left for sea
Time and time again
Wandering without direction.

Now the only one that remains
From a devestating storm
Forced to rely on instinct
In order to survive.

But this time which seemed bleak
Lead him to religious conversion
Time to talk to God
And try to fulfill God's duty.

Time then passed on
Discoveries were daily events
However none would be more fearful
Than those who ate of flesh.

Another abandoned ship
Made its way into Crusoe's hands
And from it he took provisions
That would lead to his later deliverance.

The flesh eaters lost a victem
Whose name would later be Friday
A slave to Crusoe as it would seem
A companion after years of lonliness.

A makeshift boat
With two wanderers inside
It set off to find main land
A dream they had often.

A week or so elapsed
Salvation was finally theirs
Returning to an English home
Only to lead to more adventures.
