R D Poet Verse

Seascape (1888) Van Gogh

Quick and slow, pulsed to jibe and rudder
Late dancing in the luminous waves
The boats angle the cresting froth tops

Sails arched, full burst in the briny
Air paces vastly to horizon’s rim
The hazing glow of sky to sea

They bob and streak, the prows steadfastness
Each sailor guides to the compass, knowing
The importance of destination

Carolyn Devonshire February 16, 2009 at 9:26 AM r d, As a fisherman, I love poems about the sea. "The hazing glow of sky to sea" is an insightful description of a sailor's observations. RE "On the Crest," I don't confine my writing by strained rhyme and meter. I just tell stories and hope to share them. Thanks for reading. I'm enjoying your work! Carolyn
