Lately i have decided to not perform in the way people have come to expect. i will not be associated with a perticular style, i wanna keep all of you on your toes [bodytext] => Ever ever we see the shore,
A land of beauty, a land of yore.
The islands of the east.
Forgotten lands held in this grip,
Of sea and sky and ship.
The gulls o'rehead play to the whistle,
A dance on the eddies and breeze.
Oh, to be home under a bustle, or corset,
Finding a woman to please.
But the map points out, a course for a curse.
Home seems to far, to far.
In the rythm of bouncing waves,
A lull dulls the crew to it's sleep.
The sails go slack, and rigging falls loose.
The Devil stole our wind and brought a noose.
Cold and pail, they froze to the deck,
All the while they never knew, they never knew.
I was the mutiny on board,
A foul fellow for it's sorts.
I was the noose and a fine one at that.
My brothers now rest on port. [comments] => 7 [counter] => 228 [topic] => 25 [informant] => deadreckoning1983 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 16 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Ever ever we see the shore,
A land of beauty, a land of yore.
The islands of the east.
Forgotten lands held in this grip,
Of sea and sky and ship.
The gulls o'rehead play to the whistle,
A dance on the eddies and breeze.
Oh, to be home under a bustle, or corset,
Finding a woman to please.
But the map points out, a course for a curse.
Home seems to far, to far.
In the rythm of bouncing waves,
A lull dulls the crew to it's sleep.
The sails go slack, and rigging falls loose.

Cold and pail, they froze to the deck,
All the while they never knew, they never knew.

A foul fellow for it's sorts.
I was the noose and a fine one at that.
My brothers now rest on port.

You darned non-conformist you !!! I have some Alka-Seltzer for those gulls ( Haaa !!! ).

A fabulous write, Dano. A good mutiny always makes for a terrific tale. I loved the imagery and the mix of rhyme that kept it unpredictable.

It still has your soul, brother.

I have no fear you will ever
paint yourself into a stylistic box.
