Ketch Me

Keeling
   epode masts
       tilt horizon’s sun
          collecting crimson

               Her sails ablaze
                  make mauve
                     evanesce

I think I've decided I love any poem with the word 'evanesce'... nice pun in the title and some delightful memories of sailing flashed before me while reading this, you sound like a pro at it. Best wishes, Susan ~ John
