Arturo Michael Poet Verse

Labour of Love- Caribbean Style

(((  Sailor                           
                                                   
                               Sail your boat

                      Sun's rising ~ on the sea
 
                              Set your sails 

                      Winds blowing easterly

                        Cast your nets to fish

                       Pack your catch and go

                    Your woman’s waiting home

                         To feed the family )))

Susan Ashley November 5, 2017 at 7:13 PM Ahoy my friend Arturo! Such a splendid write with beautiful imagery in your lovely flowing lines. A breezy pleasure to read mon ami. Have a fantastic evening... Hugs! Arturo Michael November 5, 2017 at 7:41 PM Bonsoir Susan...By now you know I like to mix it up... This is Caribbean folk... then again my version of it... This may be a little difficult for some poets to relate to...because it has that lullaby style... All the best to you my dear friend...I appreciate you a lot

Sara Kendrick November 5, 2017 at 3:42 PM Fried or grilled fish for the evening meal..Enjoyed reading this one..This is one that my mother taught me when I was young..Fishy, fishy in the brook..Daddy caught him with a hook..Momma cooked him in the pan..And I ate him like a man..Sara Arturo Michael November 5, 2017 at 4:17 PM Ha ha ha...You have the idea...this is similar...Lovely to see you...All the best Sara
