Dead Water The sun has rot the boards to shrink And I have not a drop to drink The wind has stopped upon my face It lays on me in hot embrace The water stays as smooth as glass And sun reflects like polished brass The sails are limp without a bend And I lay here without a friend. The ship keeps whispering in creeks To me it shouts in dying shrieks The ropes lie dead upon the deck And I see nothing but a wreck The quiet is a doldrums sea That brings a silent prayer of plea To say it would amuse your ear It is a cold and frosting beer. A pick me up to toast the ghost I see a door and phantom host. |

Bottoms up on that frosty mug! This one made me thirsty for more fine rhyme, especially that first stanza.   |

I shall send you a door, m'friend to see you round this weighty bend one that will clear the mists at sea so all the stars come out for thee... ~*~  |

No beer, just a hug for this somehow ironical song, always penned so beautifully and shared with love. Plenty of friends here! Love, Margherita |

Good morning, Mr. T.! I applaud you on this fine sonnet. You pulled me right onto that ship with you!--and then we sailed out of the doldrums and into a beautiful sunrise in the horizon! Loveya, T-Man! EA |
