some days i write rafts and barks, kayaks and corricles.
some days, a mere log, set hopefully upon the water.
some days, dories and yachts pinnaces, sloops, ketches and tugboats
on rare occassions, great two and three masted ships, schooners and galleons filled with treasure..
more often scows, punts and barges, work man like and useful, but not alway pretty
all painstakingly, crafted... with planks of words nailed together with punctuation... and caulked, with my soul... sanded down by thought polished, oiled and varnished, with love...
then i set my sails, my inspiration, to the mast of poetry
and push off.... into the great white yonder.... hoping my xebec...my catarmaran, my dinghy... my log... will find a fellow waterman.... sailing, on this... the ocean of words.
