Title

When you adopt that title
you can boast, drink a toast, enjoy a roast.
When you lose that title
and face the coast,
you may feel the most
sadness.

You see the sea -
a sight that is the most -
and may have lost your title
but feel a luxurious roast
in your belly; that luxury is not
sadness.

Andrew, nice poem for the sea does whisper wisdom. Lost crowns bloom into sea salt feasts. Embrace the coast, let laughter chase sadness. You may wear new hats, but joy simmers like that roast, waiting to be savored. - Blessings, Daniel
