Poem -
Give up the Ghost
Wreckage of tattered wood
Existing on water if it could
Incessant waves batter
Β Awash in foamy matter
Bravery a foolish notion
Adrift on the chaotic ocean
Two ships in the night
Combustion with the ignite
Though seas may batter bone
A critical lesson is known
Scanning de novo seacoast
Itβs time to give up the ghost
Briny tis a marinerβs heath
Stagnant what lies beneath
Cradled in seabeds below
Only lost phantoms know

wow this was great young lady
Thank you, Greg, I know I haven't posted in a while so I better get to it.
I've missed your work on here, friend! However, this greatly captures the set theme of being abandoned so all's well that ends well. Looking forward to seeing more of your work but no pressure, of course. Have a nice day!Β
Tehmina xo

I could see Davey Jones down deep in his locker doin' a little jig to this, Lisa.
