Because I'm new and this was my first post, I posted this by error in the workshop and now by posting in the open I would like other poets who do not visit the workshop to comment on it, thank you. Come with me to this island in the sea Tears of stone shed by ancient mountains bones The curving shore for all good men to see From storming seas and flooding rip tides free This island of white stone only Neptune owns Come with me to this island in the sea Stand alone on these broken cliffs, that be From pounding of the sea, the broken stones The curving shore for all good men to see Portland's sheltered bay that is in the lee The island and her Pulpit Rock that groans Come with me to this island in the sea Steer you ship toward the Bill's lightning tree Sail safe to the bay from the wind that roams The curving shore for all good men to see Come all God's seamen, pray, come walk with me Find peace from the King Neptune's unholy moans Come with me to this island in the sea The curving shore for all good men to see. |

love the form and found this jewel of a line therein: "Tears of stone shed by ancient mountains bones" |
