Amelia Earhart

We still think of her, you know,
her disappearance a heck of a blow -
lost forever in the mighty Pacific,
and a legend that’s quite magnific.

A skeleton on little Nikumaroro
(less populated than ancient Bordeaux)
might be hers and some think it’s so,
but the truth we’ll not ever know.



Line count: 8
Rhymed aabb (well, you try finding a rhyme for Nikumaroro)
For Express It In Eight, 05.30.25
Prompt: Write a poem about someone who got lost.
