Lewis Raynes Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

Lighthouse Battles Poseidon

Our regiment has formed on the length of your coast, 
Each battalion is ready to go,
And the artillery is set to launch by tonight, 
And sweep everything below,

In the dark of your hour, when no one will know, 
Our death ray will light all you see,
And your ships will be tossed in an invincible swell, 
Past the jetty, the dock and the quay,

And we’ll battle all night, against impossible might, 
We’ll break every surge, every wave,
With our one war to win, our fight to triumph, 
Each ship is our task to save.

Last night, tonight and every other night, 
We battle against all of the odds,
And we beat Poseidon, at his own little game, 
We win in our battle with gods.

Lunita Blanca December 27, 2017 at 11:52 AM The battle goes on Lewis. At the end, it is not who won but who deserves the blessed sleep.

Ovidiu Bocsa December 26, 2017 at 3:49 AM Amazing poetry with wonderful rhyme, rhythm and good flowing of ideas and feelings. There is a known theme in literature so called ”The fight with the angel”, with the meaning that authors may re-construe the world with poetical means, may make it a little better or choose the luminous way. I also have a modest attempt about an old movie (Rainmaker): The man who brings rain
