Slimy chum chuckers, chestdeep in the hole, mumbling softly of mother. Above buyers chatter, of color and roe, tote up,down goes another. Waves gently rock, on masts eagles flocked, wasted deckhands missing home. Never ending days, fireweed ablaze, to summer a wearied mind roams. |

You've created a grand thematic portrait with simple words here, bbent... Nice use of poetic tools indeed...  |

 YES!  You're riding a crest now Ray! Keep your pen and paper handy. I know I'm going to miss the fireweed this summer as much as the moose and Denali.  |
