Sonnet To A Safe Passage

Lifepoems

The crashing waves pitched schooner steep on side,
and valiant lady fain did make self right.
With tattered sails that stole her former pride,
avast - against the seas her mighty fight!
A shrieking hurrican with madness wails,
and sailors high in rigging reef the sheets.
With struggle mate mans wheel whose chore entails:
to keep GulfQueen from shoals where river meets.
There shining bright through raging rain and night,
a beacon light with message straight and bold:
"The shoals are close to me beneath this site,
beware of hurtful shale that seeks to hold."
Thus faithful sentry saves ship - twenty lives.
Returns men safe again to thankful wives.

Hi Laurie, this is as excellent as ever. The imagery is powerful...I could see the sights and hear the sounds.

I could taste the salt on my lips as I read this Laurie. It could easily sit along side a painting I'm particularly fond of By Turner - one of my favourite subjects for sure - slotting perfectly into sonnet form.
Best regards Terry |

| The feel of the sea raging, of the terror from the sailors trying to get home, Very well done. |

If you wish to learn who did the write
To learn the poet and learn their site,
You read the poem they entered first,
and see if it's the daily worst.
This is great, a schooner yet,
With twenty lives saved for pet,
I must read more of this fine soul
That's my aim and that's my goal...
