The dying words of a ship.


Poem Artwork

Fare thee well, John McCann

who didn't know how to sail

Hasta Luego, Joan Bertran

who's stuck in a foreign jail

Auf wiedersehen, Frau Heidi

who had an elephant touch

Arrividerci, signor Capaldi

who liked his wine too much

Adieu, Jean Claude,

who was criminally insane

Now I sail alone to God

and He will be my captain.

I'm the captain of my soul. Never agreed with that old chestnut.
You're not sailing alone, not with Gods personal Spirit at the wheel.
Serene feel to this poem, a poem that starts off as rather macabre. Yet ends so powerfully. Or begins at the end!

Turning the helm over to the carpenter not a bad idea.

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to

Prosetry at Work by Odin odin@aflx.com

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given day.
