Archaneus Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 (edited) I needed to write another poem as I haven't in the last couple sas so here it is. Inspiration for this one was a really crappy day. I know you'll all understand the symbolism. Sailor As I ride the sea A sudden torrent surges It sweeps across the deck Causing my footing to falter I try to stand and Am knocked down again The waves increase Pinning me to the deck I struggle to my feet Intent on winning this struggle I lash my self to the helm In an effort to stay aboard The waves crash over me Now drowning me at every one They increase in intensity They threaten to pull me free The lashings break As I am swept away I reach out trying to find Something to save me from this fate Nothing to save me Nothing to help me Just another sailor Lost on life’s seas Description edited - no need to offend multiple groups of people explaining what it isn't... Good poem by the way. keep writing! You aren't as bad as you seem to think you are. -Peredhil Edited February 11, 2003 by Peredhil
Rune Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Oo neat symbolism. Especially this part: Just another sailor Lost on life’s seas That part really stuck with me, I like the imagery. Thank you for sharing.
