Thank you for your comment Keith. ?

I also know and have used the expression of being (or being at risk of being) up a creek without a paddle. Usually for an unpleasant and risky situation that will be without an easy means to get out of, but I can see how it could be used for isolating and confusing situations too.

Thanks also to everyone who has clicked 'Like' for this poem ?

A poem which reflects abandonment and isolation which can be a hurtful time as it creates an intense loneliness. We are undeniably social creatures and when abandoned we realise the need for others more urgently than usual. I often use the expression of being up the creek without a paddle when I feel lost and out of touch.

A poem of real descriptive writing
Thank you for this

Keith
