As the sea Shall call...
*The Pubnico Maiden* *Eerie sea fog on the inlet* Fresh hore frost on the rocks *Dory pulling double oars* *Darned holes in both my socks* *Briney waves roll angry inland* *Dunes valiantly try to break their fall* *My maiden watches from the headland* *Salt spray kisses sent from sea wall* *Northeast wind �neath darkened sky* *We pull round the Pubnico light* *Have to turn the bow in slightly* *Sweet maiden lays alone tonight* *Gulls bid their screeching last farewell* *Then turn with the wind towards shore* *In my heart I hear her sweet goodbye* *Seaman�s lady waits for me once more* *She knows that seamen love the ocean* *Like the farmer loves the land* *Like the lumberman loves the forest* *She knows with the sea shares her man.*

A sailor's first love..the sea, and always a worried love stands atop the lighthouse and waits. Loved it!

ah, the salt air of the sea flows through your veins, Felix ... the Pubnico Maiden is married both to her fisherman and to the sea and the fisherman to the sea and his harbor of love ... vibrant imagery brings this poem to life ...

That salt air in your veins and mist on you face ...ah a love of the sea in the seafaring man...and the woman he leaves behind knows is a love she can never conquor...simply support. What a terrific visual, Fee....but it doesn;t stop there...such sensual appeal.

Blimey, I can rock with this one... can't I just!! :)) It brings out all that is John Fowles and the French Lieutenant's Woman in me... and I sure can get into any hint of nautical drama in the most Kate Winslet fashion!! Yes, yes... there I am on that Lyme Regis seawall... can see it now... need to grow me hair another six inches, though... TOTALLY absorbed into this one, Pops... and, as Susan says, it is soooooooooo you!! Tender and yet unabaiting. Swoooooooooooon....!! :)) But... I will be strong!! LOL Kaptain's K xx

Your love and affinity for the sea is as plain as a pikestaff in this compelling pen..

I could envision the opening scenes of the great Meryl Streep film " .. The French Lieutenant's Woman " !
