Victor Buhagiar Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Let's Go Sailing

It is my greatest pleasure to be alone
To hear again the grey gulls guttural song.
My double sails are filled with gusty strong wind.
So good to feel heaven's peace far from mankind.

The shore is well far away but safely so,
Especially since now the strong wind blows slow.
Around the boat so many diverse fish swim,
Afraid of their destiny that can be grim.

Are they afraid of the dolphins jumping high
Up in foamy sea, they jump towards the sky.
But far, far away the reddish sun goes down
All neon lights are now bright in the small town .

Fiddle with the turn-and-bank indicator.
I return home alone, eat and sleep later.

Sara Kendrick February 26, 2026 at 9:46 AM I enjoyed sailing with you today safely from my living room or am I safe? I do enjoy seeing what fish are in the water of the sea or ocean but also in fresh water as well. The diversity is so rich and interesting. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Jenna Logan October 24, 2021 at 3:28 AM There are times when I enjoy sharing natures sights and sounds with others, but more often we see and hear much better when we're alone with our own thoughts. A sweet write, Victor.

Harry Horsman October 23, 2021 at 2:27 AM So sad the loneliness, Victor, solitude is nice, especially in a boat without a care, where the world seem so far away. Great poem.
