"...and the moon/that old oboe/plays a dark tune"
Novel and wonderfully perfect!

Hey, the sea, the moon-- ya got me!

Brilliant. I love the imagery. For a moment, it's like I'm there. Listening to the "double music if the inlet" bouncing back to my ear. 
Thanks r.

"wearing white caps" . . . and bell bottom britches.
I love a little sea ditty, you old salt! :-)

How is it to live year after year
with no golden or red sunsets
lowering themselves into your
sea. I have seen that other ocean's
sunrises, very nice but I prefer the
Westerly show.

Might "their" white caps" be more precise and"endearing"
I do remember shore leave American sailors in Villefranche with their little white beanies. I might even have one somewhere.
