A Fearful Beast

Contributed by ramfire on Friday, 30th July 2004 @ 05:44:22 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry




The ocean seems a great and fearful beast
now spewing foam far o'er ships seen and beach.
Storms rakes their fierce claws o'er wet boards then feast
on souls gone low in waves' strong greenish reach.
Assualt's worse any trouble you have dreamed.
It craves devouring sailing oak that floats.
But we must tame this wild and raging fiend
with lines and courage using fine built boats.
Give me this challenge rather most than ease.
It beats the life of a twist maker clean.
Yes, I want life on ocean's deep bad seas
with mates some salty others really mean.
Gone be the days when iron seamen sailed
but Sea Witch time for evermore is hailed.
