| Siren |
Aye, her light shines guiding sailors home
shadowy figures, weary pirates roam
out of the darkness, a schooner sails
creaky floorboards,
eerie wails
on a moonless night she's our sun
her glowing kiss, forgives what we've done
riding waves to the siren's haunting song
written for dVerse

incorporating the word creak

DeleteHi Trudessa, haunting poem designed to tax ones cerebral hemispheres.
ReplyDeleteI used to be in Tess's writing group if you remember and we met often then. Just started writing again and joined a creative writing group here in my home town. Very best wishes, Eddie :)
Hi Eddie,
DeleteI will check out your writing! Best to you as well.
No doubt weary sailors depend upon lighthouses far and wide to bring them home. Well written Truedessa
ReplyDeleteThanks Spacer Guy. Is there a lighthouse in the heavens to guide spaceships?
