Premium Photo | Man sailing on sea

A thousand ships through the dark nights sail, to mysterious lands and adventurous trails. With a thirst for life, I cannot rest, when one is finished, there comes another quest. I travel many paths into the unknown, with each path completed, I know I’ve grown. Though dangers lurk at most every turn, I sense I’m protected; I have no concern. I try new things all the time, I’ve never seen a mountain I’d not try to climb. Life is for living so bring it on, I’ve never been broken except for a bone. I’ll keep on a traveling across the seven seas, Enjoying the adventure, and the ocean’s breeze.

Dear Bill, Congrats on POTD! O' your sonnet is like opening the journal of a soul built for wonder. Your lines carry a wind that fills the sails of possibility and that fearless declaration, “bring it on,” rings with the kind of courage we all hope to carry into the unknown. Keep sailing, my friend your verse is a compass for the restless heart. Summer Blessings, Bill, Daniel

Congrats on your poem joining the ranks of POTD. Yesterday I felt like I was stuck in the “battle of wits” scene in The Princess Bride (only he wasn’t Sicilian). But it’s a new day TG. And FYI there’s plenty of mountains I don’t want to climb. Enjoy

Dear Bill, your poem carries such an infectious zest for life — every stanza pulses with courage, curiosity, and a fearless love of the unknown. I especially admire how it embraces both the risks and the rewards of venturing beyond comfort zones. Conglatulations on it being chosen as POTD. So well deserved.
