John Squires Poet Alliteration

Sailing On Home

While the water’s whitened waves
Flew forth fast in foamy sprays
All amidst an airy act
Blowing, blasting, beating back
Seeing swarthy, seaward sailing ships
Onward o’er the ocean dips
Upward, downward, driving days
Seeking harbors, havens haste their ways
The ships sail sure in stormy seas
Calmly coursing comes a breeze
Now softly sailing, slides the ship
Muffled, mellow, made my trip

Jan Allison February 17, 2015 at 2:24 PM Lovely alliteration - i much prefer calm calm waters - living on a tiny island i adore watching the sea but much prefer to be on dry land:-) hugs jan xx 7 xx John Squires February 17, 2015 at 10:22 PM Thanks for your comments and glad you enjoyed it. Sounds like you may be in a good fishing spot too. After spending time at sea before I prefer dry land as well.
