Bewitched By a Sailor's Moon

Disperse the sun’s most wicked rays. Exhale the vapor of the light. Fill the soft fringe with halo fine. Dampen the blackness of the night Stain pink as if the weakest blood has washed upon cobalt the skies, cry out in fear for at the dawn a cresting wave will sailor’s ride. Belay, belay, the storm’s intent. The rage incased with morbid fright. Assuage the rampant fretting sun “Ah, give me fair soft candle light.” For in the morn there comes a gale and pon a widow’s walk I’ll wail.

Well, the link did take me to the book, but the publisher's main website is publishamerica.com. Very interesting. I wonder what would happen if I just looked for publishamerica.net?

Hi Deborah, so glad you enjoyed 'ANTI...". About a third of my poems are light hearted musings. I've been surprised to learn how many people feel that poems should always be serious. I wish I had more time to write, but will be tasting the Soup as time allows. Cyber Hugs, James ‘Jim’ Rasmusson, MeanderthalMan
