About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

I got sea sick reading this! The title grabbed me.

Wow (spell check on the bar has a check mark then ABC) The spelling inconsistances kind of give flavor to this. Now I will ask the question,"Have you been at sea in a storm?"SinBad you Poet. In ink, Jolly Dabber ps there may still be a pirate translator in the formate I would like to read it like that as well.

Thanx you Donna

Glad you enjoyed it, I've been trying to catch up on all the replys But, in my rush to post. When I first came here, I didn't quite catch on to,as how things were set up. How easy it is to reply. Guess I needed to be stroked as the others have said, since I just came from Poetry.com to this site. an Im glad I found it, (This site) although I do miss all those editor choice awards coming in the mail. But I guess I can always go back there, when I need a Good stroking. See ya around, I would use the Live chat but, I can't seem to get sign on for some reason Donnie/Sinbad

Chilling

These lines sent chills up my spine:- Sultry midnight sands and the cold grasping fingers of Davey Jones’ hands The monsters come upon her sides; our fair Lady; she screams in utter pain Our tears mount upon our cheeks They cease their advancement and stand ever so still I also really like the closing lines.This quite an epic tale you have written here. Well done. Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

Wow! This really grabbed me.

I am a surfer, not a sailor, but know the deep respect the ocean commands its awesome power. This poem has the feel of the classics and the humility of those who have faced those elements. Can't help wondering why the Ocean is "she" but Davy Jones is "he". She the archetypal maiden/mother/hag, he the warrior destroyer? Are you a closet feminist? 8) Great to see the growth in your poetry, look forward to much more. cheers, Jess

grew up in boats

"lived" in a canoe for years. "There is no dignity in drowning,no silent succumbing to the water's ebb and flow. It is violent, and painful, a shock to the heart. Even in death their corpses scream" from Dispatches From The Edge by Anderson Cooper (talking about Sri Lanka) Next time I go deep sea I will be sure to check the weather (and compass) Nice writing sinbad. Took me a while to get here but once in I was kept. Mark

Full of envy

have some exposure but could not carry a conversation. Snorkeling is really my love with diving but I have not been graced with the oppertunity for either in years. I miss the fishing too it has become so expensive and fish are becomming a rare species in this neighborhood. Hope you can do the scraping and be a lucky man Donnie ! Mark
