[bodytext] => As we sail across the ocean In the year, seventeen ninety nine Cosy in our hammocks Lookout on duty, weather is fine Then the storm befell us On that darkened night In gale force winds For survival, we fight Wooden hull creaking In forty foot swell How can we endure This living hell The mast, now splintered Sails, now ragged shreds Cries of mariners Aroused, from their beds Man overboard A shipmate falls In darkness unseen For help. he calls Battered, pounded Gale force winds lash Blown toward land Into rocks, we smash Our vessel now wrecked The Captain roars Man the lifeboats Break out the oars Ship sinking, in the distance To ocean bed below Faces, etched in pain Weakened arms row In the cold, of the ocean Cries, of men in pain Lost, to depths below Never, to be seen again Our tiny lifeboat reaches shore Men tired, wet and cold Unknown what lays ahead of us What will this island hold How will they find us Will they look Or will we become Another story in a book [comments] => 2 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 8 [informant] => thewizard [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
