[hometext] => *I got the idea for this poem after reading Sylvia Plath's *Two Views of a Cadaver Room.* It was a good poem, I would recommend it. The last three lines of the poem below are a variation on a famous Shakespearean play. Enjoy!*
[bodytext] => 1.) With "Endevour" written in caligraphy on both sides of the bow. A cruise ship waits. It waits for a crew and captain for it has none. Calmly rocking back and forth The waves cause ghosts of crew members, to creak upon its vacant decks, and ring the rusty dissonant bells, from atop the watch tower. It does not move, therefore it haunts the water. It does not have a soul 2.) The sound of a splash comes from the pool deck, for it is Romeo and the fair maiden Juliet, froliking about on board the vessel. "Endevour" sails from the port of Verona, yes. But this is no Verona. Captain Romeo dropped anchor 160 miles from shore, in the middle of nowhere. There is no Tybalt, Mercutio, or Paris. On this ship, Capulet and Montegue matter not... ...no longer is this a story of woe, as the sun sets... ...Juliet kisses her Romeo...

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. ©
