Guess what those flying objects are
birds, boats or planes whisk past stars
to come up with all alien sorts
while crossbone ghost ships visit ports

galleons normally float in the water?
patched-eye crews sail seas that are hotter?
follow some kind of navigational direction
some still sail, they say minus human detection
the empty cabins with their charges degraded
fine fabrics of the yard, tinted shades faded.

Given wings, the vessel would fly
boat and rudder to sail the skies
guess the object as it coasts near
sullen sailor wastes, do you fear?

Savvy sailors avoid fogs and torrents
the eagle soars on uplifted currents
binocular visions recall alien sorts
jewelled snuff boxes invite regal snorts
crossbone banners leave abandoned ports
hail New World..golden sands..rich resorts.

The navigational pull of the nautical float...
Well done, Sir!

playful images, great imagination

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
