She waits
impatiently,
rocks with anticipation -
I pull up my anchor
and wave to Old Joe
it’s a go
the Solene
breaks free from the dock
beauty unbound -
she sails.

Such disjointed endings in your poems always work wonders for me, never forced...and now I long for the ocean!

I wish I had a sailboat, heck I wish I have been on one.

I love it; it's been awhile since I've heard about Old Joe. I missed him.
Love,

Oh I get it...
Solene is Portuguese for "solemn, ceremonious, formal, measured and stiff".
Uh huh...*nodding*...I see. The boat is solemn, ceremonious, formal, measured and stiff....uh hm.

Properly home at last then!
A life on the ocean wave
The only place for a Lane
When spirits are needing a save
Get back out to sea again

a beautiful moment you picture here for the reader, love it..

what i like about this, and few will really see the back-meaning ... but it speaks from what i term "the absoulute beauty" of a woman ... what is great about this is that it can easily speak about the action, but speaks more deeply about the woman's mind and situation ... action being nothing but a backdrop ... hmmm, maybe i did teach you a thing, or two over the years ... f'ing brilliant (not in the real, but in the abstract mind)
-
oh!!! love this, wish I could be doing that, instead of taking summer school *sigh*... a delightfully breezy poem.
g'luck in the contest!!!
S.P.

Ahoy!
A beauty within beauty,
the Mermaid sails...
I see the sparkle, the sea,
the blue sky, thee...
