uncharted journeys

convene about me the calm

of lapping waves salty balm

stir my wits with squawks

of the gull's inane urgings

 

white sand has ears surveying

the silent replies of dune moods

like the grasses listless swaying

poet's designs on parchment moons

 

tall ships silhouetted on horizons

voyages of imagination rippling

blue seas with foamy white traces

Maesfield at the helm of locution

 

jubilant flourishes lift my spirits

with the hauling of the foresail

sturdy masts leave me not adrift

nor anchored upon a poetic shoal

... you had me from the get-go of this one, Jon, and the drift and flow of your consciousness carried me sweetly along to some dreamy silken shores and jublilant, gurgling shoals. I now have a yen to dive deep and swim with dolphins.... ahhhhhhhhhhh! :)) xx

Such lovely lines are irresistable, Jon, and this old salt
has packed his seabag, discarded his cane, and is prepared
to join you on your voyages of imagination. Aye! -gene.

The Sailor Poet
flourishes and stirs our imagination,
the best adventures, and the most demanding,
are spontaneous and unplanned;
"poet's designs on parchment moons"
is stunning and in the context, perfect.
You give me hope, Jon, My Friend,
with such a beauty as this.

As an old sailor I love this, I took a long walk today on one of our trails through the Nova Scotia forests and come across some of the straight tall pines that were once cherished by HMS for masts that brought me back to the sea and your poem continued my trip. Well done Jon.

Your poem could be commented in many ways my friend but all of them would converge to a one spot called BEAUTY. Peace and love to you, jon.

You are sailing the main with this one. It is moving with the wind, current, and shifting beach sand. Delightfully begging us to sail along.
