Thread: A poem from a book, I am reading.

Heya, when I was reading the Vampirates: Tide of Terror,by Justin Somper I found a poem that really struck me, I liked it, I thought I would share it,

Mother Ocean, Father Sky,
Send this pirate to his rest,
He was amongst the best -
Set his spirit free to fly.

Brother Sun and Sister Moon
Bathe him in your balmy light,
No longer need he fight -
The one you called back far too soon.

Lighting, thunder, wind and rain,
Let his cutlass blunt and rust,
As his body turns to dust -
Free from every mortal pain.

Spring tide, neap tide, morning, night,
All things that frame our days,
Carve him out a resting place -
Where ever will his cares be light.

Creek and harbour, gulf and reef
Waters shallow, waters deep,
Grant him now enteral sleep -
And anchor us who reel with grief.

Whoa nice find you got there C. Gholy. Precisely written.

Cool poem, but I almost sprayed coffee on my monitor when I read "Vampirates." I hope it's better than it sounds. By the sound of that poem, I'll assume it's at least well-written.

Hello C.

That was truly a wonderful find. It is such an enjoyable poem I had to read it again and again again..
