The Daze of Malice

Your barque blocks the orb which steers my muse;
 change course, you are an intrusion.         Captain Wahn.

            Intimidation brands you a martyr,
             mere threats have no place herein.
             Alter your own path.      Skipper Twain.

                           Seems a knot has you both anchored;
                           choking, challenging your journey.
                           Old grudges you have harbored will send you
                           back to your docks on a gurney.   words from Urania.

Fate obstructs the view
when ships align with the moon.
Urania smiles.
Hidden underwater shelf
will cut short the daze of malice.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/4/2018 8:16:00 PM Very well done, Reason. I see you placed and I hope you got a good placement with this deep meaning poem. I thought Broken Wings' challenge was inspiring to many of her contestants in this contest. By the way, I have at least four or five oak tree poems. And other tree poems as well. How about you?

James Inman Date: 4/29/2018 9:23:00 AM An intense metaphorical write. Sounds much like my daughters when they are fighting (or playing a video game). Great visuals. Login to Reply Reason A.
