The title is a very powerful title and the words i feel could have been expressed more deeper within your soul. This was still a great write but the picture gave me an idea of an escape that I think about quite often.

I really like this poem a lot. Maybe because it is the emptiness of the ship alone in the sunset.

Wow! Hasn't some trinket or object set us all off like that!! I love the way you wait to tell us it's a ship in abottle. At first I thought it was a memory or a place where you could see an actual ship out there. Nice, nice job. You ever thought of publishing beyond AD. There are some neat ezines you might try.
