The Call Maritime echoes, cry of bird Phantom voices we once heard Cries of pleasure in the rain Hear the haunting old refrain. Hundred fathoms deep each day Search for the immortal way Spirit lost, and yet I seek Soul is strong, yet body weak. Visions dance and bid me join Precious moments I purloin Dance is over, day is done One left standing…only one. Ship goes nowhere, darkness cloaks Reveal all the cosmic jokes Act in sin and pay the price Find God in a grain of rice. Small yet powerful Nothing yet all I have no choice but to Answer the call.

I have never been aboard a tall ship. Are there any pictures of interior lay outs ? I always wondered where the crew slept.and..where the Captain hung his hat...The old films showed bunks, and hammocks...sacks of grain...tankards flappin back and forth as the ship lurched during storms. There was always a man in a striped shirt smoking a clay pipe...saying "I seen worse ! 'taint nothin' ta worry about I tell ye !" (crash...splash) Are there websites depicting life below deck on the old ships ? When the tall ships appear at shows, how much access is allowed to the public ? I always wanted to peek from a porthole....and say "Ahoy Mateys ! " (but not in polyester short…

I write poetry myself from time to time and I think it might be fun to have a specific place to share our work. Whadda think? Stynky, any ruling on this?

Like a wave you knocked me over and I tumbled round and round I could have come to the surface but instead I chose to drown Drowning was much better than being cut up on the rocks or walking thru a giant mall while you hunted perfect socks You sat and drank and talked about yourself and all your endless needs the tomatoes I put into your salads "must be free of seeds" The seeds were then wrapped up in cellophane ("one by one" you insisted) the disorder that you suffer from surely isn't listed Once the seeds were wrapped in cellophane they were placed into a paper bag I had to carry them four blocks away like a silent slaving hag When I returned you sco…

Fire me up dramatic weather ! let me know that we're together as I glance toward the darkened sky and know that you are there Nothing can fade our deep connection this lofty night of souls reflection Let me in on your perception Now I know you care I climb the hill in a midnight storm and embrace a balmy tree I head quickly yes into a cave so lightning won't strike me The raindrops dance upon my cheeks and make me close my eyes with every bend of bough and branch another creature dies Resting my head upon the rocks I know it's time to return My state of natural perfection Is such a thing to yearn I head back to my little dinghy and shuffle into bed I…

The E-Pyrate Meerschaum pipe burning Surf the Web for pyrate lore Ash falls to the floor Cat sits on the desk Plays with the mouse when I pause Hairball on mouse pad Stop to pour coffee Not the same as rum, but then- It’s a lot cheaper. Rain whispers on glass Nodding in my library Fireplace dancing Fourteen hundred books Embrace me like an old friend Musty, yet alive Sleep is a stranger Time enough to sleep later Death – the final nap Thinking of others Tenuous thoughts on the screen Touched, but never felt The Sun’s a voyeur Watching me through the curtain Time to show it in Power down – unplug - Stand and chase the knots away Return to the da…

Skip Tide All the footprints left before vanished when she stepped and all the heartbreak stored within healed up as she slept The cloudy new tomorrow turned into shored up tears while tiny little crab claws pinched away her fears A mean tide knocked her under then sent her out to sea but she encountered a Skip Tide and it gladly set her free It pushed her body back to shore and placed her on the chair the sandburn made her cheeks quite red and a Starfish hugged her hair A shadow blocked the sun away as a stranger held her gaze he told her of his Skip Tide and how he'd "been kept for days" As dusk moved in and closed its eyes he …

These salty tears now mine for years... I cannot shake the constant fears my children died upon the sea I hear them callin' out to me At cliffs edge I now do stand.. my eyes are focused on the sand the waves are crashin' upon the rocks the seaweed like the hands of clocks "It's time to go" they whisper now I hesitate and balk somehow The dog runs up and "barks me big" (he's tellin' me to fix my rig) I think hes right that dyin's no good I see my family they understood their spirits convinced my treasured hound "Keep our Dad from meetin' the ground" C May 25 2004 Dream Wench

The water was frigid the anchor was froze frosty clouds hovered beyond his big nose The silence then held him as he stood on the dock no way to tell time from the ship and the clock A pelican eyed him from under the sea death had released him so now he could be His buckles now icebergs they tickled his waist the bread he had made were now piles of paste His sox were the striped ones and so were his pants his tales of the sea devoid of romance He's shackled and lonely he misses his wench she sits and surrounds him from the seat of a bench His tri cornered hat with the feather so grand laps in the surf and slaps at the sand He spins once around …
