Poem -
Womb of Sea
Foul weather cloud,
Wrathful steely shroud.
Cast marauder to a sea,
Sodden thunders, wretchedly.
Swashbuckler blood spilt,
Fathoms sank, ta bed of silt.
Ole Scra'ch curst me,
Ta fickle brackish sea.
Seafarer spielin' bard.
Me crew spare nary regard,
Scurvy jackal's yellowtail,
Harness Fairwinds, set sail.
Abandoned ta watery grave,
Mutinous act accost unbrave.
Nary a matey ta mourn,
Cap'ain sea-dog shorn.
Cradle me, womb of sea.
Β Frothy foam comfort me.
In me element, a fit death,
Quaff brine last breath.
Tis me mistress true,
Ne'ermore perils ta pursue.
Vixen siren lilt whisper'd
Brak ode, dyin' ta be heard

Thank you Tony, it's so wonderful to see you and your lovely wife grace my page.Β
Someone's been watching pirate movies lol.
Well maybe I have, I was reading it envisioning the Pirates of the Carribean.Β
I really liked the style of this one because I could imagine that.
Very good write my friend :)

Don't sell yourself short Matthew you can write very good as well. After all your poem "My Inadvertent Juliet" has been nominated for the contest.Β
thank you for stopping by to readΒ
Thanks Lisa.Β
Hey, how does that work? What are the contests? And who nominates people/ poems for them?Β
Matthew.Β
The site monitors watch for talent and poets can send requests to the mentors. first place is 100. dollars, second is 50 dollars and third place is 30 dollars. I've won a couple of times over the years. Votes, likes and pins on the poem page helps too.
Oh wow. Thanks Lisa. I really appreciate all the kindness and knowledge you've imparted upon me. You're really nice, and I hope I'm not too much of a pain in the neck.Β
Your friend,Β

" BETTER THAN, TOMB OF SEA. " You, have to consider DAVY JONES "locker ", as well as the " roller-coaster " ride which is the tempestuous WAVE. :) :) In the voyage of discovery, are the " tell-tale " signs of an inquisitive glance, or two, at prevailing conditions.
YOUR FATE depends on " fair winds ", on most occasions. UNLESS, YOU ARE IN PORT. When "grog " distributed by welcoming wenches, gives you " cause for concern. "Β :)
TIE DOWN THE " MAIN SAIL. " If you are of a certain disposition,Β intent on the " DEAD CALM " approach. A storm then brews, do you not think ?
"TIME, AND TIDE, WAIT FOR NO MAN, OR WOMAN. " On this occasion. :) :)
LET LOOSE THE " DOGS OF WAR ", when frantic practicalities save one from a grim end. Including " drowning ", I am afraid. Who would not be " jittery " ? You, have to learn from what happens around you, to " manage " the situation in favour of life. But, probably, not as we know it. Especially considering marine evolutionary process. :) :)
NOW, THIS WRITE DOES " A JOB LOT " !! Does it not ? It points to that beyond stereotypical analogies and " hard-bitten " facts. You, do not wish for surprises, from the depths, to " sink your ship " !!! Do you ?
The AQUATIC creativity on display, brings the length of " the rope " into sight. Without, " hanging " involved !!! Therefore, the " PROMISED LAND " seems far closer. Do you agree ?
NICE ONE. TO BE TRULY " MULLED OVER " !! Probably, from a " gull " perspective !!! :) :) Not withstanding, that which can drop on " your head " !!! :) :)
Wishing you the " seas " you need, to speed along at " a keen rate of knots " !!! XX
thank you Richard. I haven't written any fresh work in some time. your reading of my older posts helps to comfort this cruel bout of writer's block
