...life...?

riding waves of indiscriminate height three masted sails drawn in tight hatches battened down ports sealed against storms might wheel house manned & at the ready through life’s fight she holds steady worry & anguish is life’s hurricane depression & anger actually keeps us sane calming is the oceans breath riding high without ballast deal we all do with life’s light till found by death © ed ~ 9/01/08

"On the good ship, Lollipop,
it's a nice trip, to the candy shop,
where bon-bons play,
on the sunny beach at Peppermint Bay ..."

A TAUT write for the Ship of Life -
Shiver me Timbers -

YO-HO-HO - and a bottle of RUM, MATEY!

Not much of a Critic, nor a Mocker -
make sure to Avoid -
Old Davy Jones' Locker!

Any Port in a Storm - TK.

A nice clipper ship sailing the ocean. Are you planning a cruise ship director's job or being on the cruise ships as a porter or waiter. That would be an excellent job for you. Ever consider it?
You are so freindly and would do great for the people on the ship.

Yes, how true that last line is, and i love the comparison of the ship and sea with life. Great economy of words, i love it.

My many years with Authors Den will come to a close in May, thank you to all that has reviewed of me, I hope you all continue on to your own end...

Most likely my END or maybe NOT!

Yep, it''s that time of the year again, break out the credit card...

Merry Christmas...

We all got em''...

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?
