Sailors MAG
May 20, 2008
Streaming across the waves
the vessel cracks the sea
It creeps through the fog
Among the misty air concealed.
It doesn’t stir a wave
It doesn’t splash a sound.
The men cannot remember
the feel of the ground.
As days turn into weeks
And weeks turn into years,
The sailors grow resentful
Of the man who steers.
Like a wave in a storm,
Mutiny splashes ashore.
Once the head of the ship
has a head no more.
The crew overthrew but
Had no clue who would do
To follow through as captain –
But land they would pursue.
Like caged birds now set free
They fly up toward the fan
Beams began to burst
And the sinking began.

Wow, those are some miserable sailors. but maybe there should be more to the poem, it needs more and maybe a follow up or a sequel would be nice. It just needs more detail and some kind of tone. But other than that I enjoyed the poem.
