Sailing Blissfully (Eileen’s Challenge)
Afloat upon vast fluid salt
In ship of wood and nail
My cat and I drift blissfully
As winds fill full our sail
With rod and hook I troll along
Pray, catch two fish or four
To fry in pan a poor man’s lunch
For us it’s sup du jour
As twilight calls to dark our sun
And moon-full starts to glow
I drop sail upon rim of night
And anchor toss down low
Haunting moans sound within hull
Pitch rocks us to and fro
Soft and slow its rhythm sounds
Bright stars fill indigo
