My hero flails
no anchor to steady
his course
Adrift on becalmed seas
time and tide compete to
draw him down
Be careful love,
below lies a watery grave
Do not purchase that one
way ticket yet. There is a
place, a harbor dry and safe.
I know the way
although
I've never been there.
Your Friday is starting as mine is finishing and the weekend is getting closer by the second. Can't think of a better way to end the working week, than with a 55. I'm off to bed, I'll be around to read your 55's tomorrow (my Saturday), hope y'all have the best Friday ever. :)
If you've written a 55 words, no more no less, drop
in on G-Man, leave a comment and he will pay you a visit.
Love,

Lovely words about a most intimate danger.
what could have become a tragedy is warded off by hope... very lovely poem...
Another "thinking poem". So many possibilities. So many ways to go.
Well Done.
Very well done.
Beautiful! You set such a tone in so few words.
I really feel like an amateur in the company of many 55'ers, but what the heck..it is fun!
Nicely done, Eaton. I love the last line.
Such a beautifully creative mind you have Eaton.
It's a pleasure an an honour to have you share with us all every Friday.
Thank You so much..
Have a Great Week-End...G
Hee -- you said "y'all."
Hope you have a great weekend!
well done, eaton :)
Hi Eaton
Loved your pic of the sea, and the delicious poem.
Here we are on the North Coast of NSW - in flood. The Tweed River almost burst its banks two days ago but the sun is out now here. However, more than 20,000 people have been evacuated from their homes further down - horrors!
They are having a terrible time.
The sea here is really something - the power of those waves (up to 6m and 9m swell) have been beyond belief.
Heroes need no anchors only wind in the sails and a general idea that somewhere out there is a harbor calling him and his love.
Well done Eaton, very well done indeed. That picture is the sea I was mentioning.
What a backdrop to these intense words! Love the deep in this Eaton-
Hope you had a great weekend...Love the poem..
Loved the whole thing, Eaton. The maritime motif is beautiful and consistent throughout. You've got a real talent there, dear. E
