Sailors On the View

SAILORS ON THE VIEW sailors on the view, sitting uniformly in the front row — viewing the view. waves from the forward and aft, inspect the crisp, clean suits and polished shoes, polishing up on today’s news. choked up anchors, relegate their eyes, with tongues wagging. a bright beam in their eyes, like a lighthouse lamp, brings the hosts back, to the shores of reality. 5/23/2018 Notes: TV Show called The View The hosts were enamored with the uniforms Duel references to the audience and the sea

I like the waves inspecting the clean, crisp, suits. My daughter was in the Air Force. There is nothing as impressive or as imposing as a group of military.

I loved and am still honored to have been a member of the U.S. Navy! I have great respect for those who have served in war zones, an experience most difficult and heroic. Thank your daughter for her service <3

"choked up anchors" This is a brilliant line with double meaning. Great poem Kim!

Yes, indeed, those talk shows can seem like a "duel" at time. The worse that I watch is The Five on Fox. Great write, Kim.

I don’t often watch the view, but having been in the Navy, it was fun to see the sailors in front. :)
