The Bee words came from the oldest shaggy dog story there is. If someone ever says to you "it was a dark and stormy night and the Captain said to the mate 'well I've shipped over these seas many a year, in all weathers that would make you white and your hair as well; arr 'many's the women I've known with a temper to match this'.", you could be forgiven for thinking "senior position, life in the fleet, stable man", and, Well it was a dark and stormy night and the mate said to the Captain "Captain tell us a story" and the Captain began "Well it was a dark and stormy night and the mate said to the Captain "Captain tell us a story". Many's a woman I've known as I sailed these shores, and I've always taken a backup for you can lose everything. Many's a flag I've flown as I sailed these shores and I've always been at the mast. Many's a thing I'll not discuss as I sailed these shores, and I'd never fear a wave. Many's the blow to taunt to force and many a blow I've waved. We're broken in winds broken in waves broken in men broken and we hold true To ourselves |

This sounds like a very interesting Dark and Stormy night story, funnily enough the one I know is about two tom cats, which is a fishy tale of a different genre. I enjoyed the wisdom in this. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

We're broken in winds broken in waves broken in men broken and we hold true To ourselves Yes, no force can ever break this essence of ourselves to which we cling instinctively .... There is always depth weaved into the flow of your words, dear Dave. Love, Margherita |

I really got into the spirit of this write and actually found myself rocking back and forth as if I were standing on the deck of a ship on a "Dark and Stormy Night"! ~ and continue to be true to yourself, Dear Dave!   EA |

Kethry This sounds like a very interesting Dark and Stormy night story, funnily enough the one I know is about two tom cats, which is a fishy tale of a different genre. I enjoyed the wisdom in this. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown It can make your fur raise. Thanks Kethry Dave Margherita We're broken in winds broken in waves broken in men broken and we hold true To ourselves Yes, no force can ever break this essence of ourselves to which we cling instinctively .... There is always depth weaved into the flow of your words, dear Dave. Love, Margherita Thanks Margherita I take the bit about depth weaved into the flow, but it is nice to have an idea write itself without help from me. Dave Earth Angel I really got into the spirit of this write and actually found myself rocking back and forth as if I were standing on the deck of a ship on a "Dark and Stormy Night"! ~ and continue to be true to yourself, Dear Dave! EA EA - I will write a sea poem. Maelstrom was a group of ideas, as is some of the romance poems but if I write more than 60 lines, who would read it, so I write 8 to 16 poems broken apart because if I wrote one, no-one would read it. Dave Ericc Great write Dave...one of my favorites! Eric Thanks Eric. Your words are appreciated. Dave Susan Have to agree with Eric - much enjoyed Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . Susan - your words are much appreciated, maybe the words will get written. Dave |

Dave ~ You'd be surprised how many readers you'd have with a 60 line poem of yours! I posted a 400 line poem twice and was amazed at the responses I received! There are some pretty patient Pipsters out there! lol Linda |
