The nautical theme in this one was very enjoyable. Some parts of the felt almost whimsical, and the ending paragraphs are very beautiful. The vocabulary is perfect for the theme. Great work!
Aye, aye m'lad ye have stirred me senses all about. Me nose is cold, me lips taste salty.
I feel the wet of the briny sea.
Sure'n ye be the master of imagery.
Frank, this is a very beautiful poem. I am drawn to the sea as I read, can almost feel the moist salt air. The colloquial language does well to put one at the scene. To go to sea, to leave much behind, even a certain folly, to venture into uncharted waters, specific and metaphoric, both. I enjoyed this very much. June
I put this here as well as separately to you, that others may recognize my acknowledgment of the honors that you pay and the courtesies that you offer.
Of course you have my permission to use this work and make copies for your students, that they may make of it what they will. It would be interesting to know how many different meanings or interpretations your students arrive at.
Cast off the bow lines, first
Then cast ye off the stern
Final follow with the spring
And aye, m'laddy bucks 'tis off we go.
Very beautiful and laconic beginning.It definitely conveys more than it says. For a second I was carried along to the ancient ballad "The Demon Lover" ,perhaps, due to the subtle allusion which my mind found in the underlying structure.
I may not be sure but my conclusion rates it as a sequel to the great poem which I have been teaching for years. With your permission, I would like to print it and give my students a go at it?
That was so great. I enjoyed Casting Off, very much. Especially the ending where you wrote,
"Both can't fit the kit, Your mother, now, the sea." Very nicely done~. Beautiful!
