Poet

Words consumate
as waters turn to waves.
The pen a Titanic between
on-course and discourse,
tipping amid wet graves.

The writer sails
sans praising quips
and knows of none
as mast, its canvas strips.

There is no nobility
in a sinking ship,
only panic.

This is one that it appears you've given much thought- and made good use of analogy.
May it not sink like the Titanic before it is read and appreciated by many. David

Thank you, deleeme. Sometimes, as a poet, I
feel I'm sinking fast. *LOL* This was one of those moments....chanson~

Chanson,
A poets passions are pressed to extremes between the gentle harbor and the torrential storms on the open sea, each expressing beauty and rage. Thoughtful verse!
Dennis

Moonbeams radiate
When the veiling cloud has past
Playful shadows dance
