Reminds me of the smuggler who was washed up with me recently on Chesil Bank, Kartero: Here be dragons, Jack. Going back to Robin Williams (psycho-babble), here was the man who tried to make everyone well while he himself never wanted to grow up, grow old, grow ill... Hook was always my favourite film of his. He made me think of Oscar Wilde's: "Give a man a mask and he will always tell you the truth" (paraphrase). And was ultimately a strong man. xx

enjoyed the read, keep writing!!

Stuck in the sand 3 miles from the sea.
Now I know why...

Many semen are shortsighted and never reach the egg.

You look good in the snow…

Hey Jude
Somehow your poem makes me think of Robin William's death. He was one face to the world but inside his ship was sinking all his life!
So sad to hear that he took his own life. Unstable but so wildly funny to the world.
Just never know!
Peace light and love

This person is a legend in their own mind, but an oaf in the eyes of the rest of the world. The reality check will be brutal and their paper doll world will crumble, leaving them a skeleton picked clean by the buzzards who forgot how to dream.

boats cost money to take out, maybe I am not smart enough to understand this fully, but I enjoyed the read...Take care of the self, Bob...-e-

this is so astute jude, when one's 'action's remain lackluster... too much so, to ever reach touch the sea.

and to be less metaphorical...marinas everywhere are filled with boats and 'captains' that never leave the dock...simply there living on the edge of their dream, because of lackluster unflexed muscles.

wonderful write!

Sadness overwhelmed me when I read this. Then again, you make a great point. We must make our actions, dreams, and vows full of promise and come to fruition.

Love ya!

LOL!!!! Those Jack of seemen should be lifted off their duties; and the seats of the thrones should be kept cleaned, since none of them can get into the sea.
