Kim Rodrigues Poet Tyburn

We Sail

WE SAIL



                              We Sail
               No, Bail!
                                            Shark tail
                      Full scale

Ocean’s calm sea, we sail. No, bail! Splash!
Cruel, cold steel eyes.  Shark tail! Full scale slash!

Darren White March 17, 2017 at 12:00 AM Wow, Kim! What a powerful (and scary) Tyburn! And that form you wrote it in is magnificent. Kim Rodrigues March 17, 2017 at 7:12 AM Thanks so much, Darren!

Doug Vinson March 16, 2017 at 10:26 PM Kim, a violent dislocation from what the reader may think upon seeing only the title. : ) "Tyburn" makes me think of Olde England, even of Roman Londinium, or was that pre-Roman, even pre-Celtic? And - 2, 2, 2, 2, 9, 9 syllables - who comes up with this stuff?! Kim Rodrigues March 16, 2017 at 11:09 PM I don't know, Doug...lol! I enjoy a little misdirection...hehe
