 northern moons float out in curves that end beyond sight distant horizons slip behind mountains where the Pacific ocean ceases existence Neptune bides his time fork in hand ready to strike fear into brave hearts somewhere over a rainbow a child is born of woman Graphics: Maritime Museum of History & Art "I am not now that which I have been." |

Hey Julian it's good to read your poetry......I liked these lines and their depth..... "Neptune bides his time fork in hand ready to strike fear into brave hearts somewhere over a rainbow a child is born of woman" Very good work!! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

This was a beautifully constructed poem, and thank you for telling me the structure, I am afraid I am not much of a poet I guess, as I had never heard of a double entendre in poetry, but I sure hear enough every day in general. Great read! ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ |

Mysteria and Marge: thank you. I love to write out of both sides of my pen as it were, and could not resist combining myths of the seas with the seas and moons of inter-space. "I am not now that which I have been." |
