    JOURNEYS AT SEA

    Waves crash, as seas dance across the bow,

    Dark blue skies, screams that the abyss is foul

    No moonlight, just light and dark shadows,

    Arrays of water, causing flickering rainbows,

    Abrupt noises, loose objects are scattering,

    The fury of the sea, is not very flattering,

    Green deckhands, with a hint of pale in the face,

    Knee bound, praying for their saving grace,

    Howling winds, piercing from up upon high,

    Torrential downpours, racing from the sky,

    Stomachs are empty, as eyes are tired,

    Days seem to pass, crews are hard wired,

    Red skies no more, no need for warning,

    Early dawn, brings peace to the morning

    The storm subsides, no more worlds end,

    Once again, the sea is our friend,

    Time to time, this comes to be,

    Our destination, being journeys at sea.

    This was great. I could feel the sea, Some folks are naturally drawn to the water and even when the seas are raging they feel at home. This poem made me feel this way. One of my favorite shows is about men crabbing. No wonder the darn things cost so much. They don't pay enough to do that job. you never stop working. Your poem has a great flow,excellent images and lets you feel as well as see. Thank you

    Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm glad it made you feel like you were here because that is where I'm at right now, at sea. Have a good one!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
