The Sea! by Elizabeth Lindberg

The Sea! The Sea!

The Witchy Sea!

Thou art called She,

The Sea!

Thy moods are captivating,

there's danger in thy depths!

there's intrigue in thy witchy heart,

where your secrets are kept,

You give upon thy whim,

you take in the same way,

there's treasure in thy bounty,

for some thou art the grave!

You give birth to your children,

from the riches of thy womb,

your rolling anger strikes at will!

To ignore thy warning... Doom!

Breath-taking is thy beauty,

intoxicatingly,

seductively you becon to the heart,

you Witchy Sea!

Great poem, Elizabeth. Did you see my poem about the sinking of the Titanic? It's in my portfolio. See "Remembering the RMS Titanic". Let me know what you think.

That was a wonderful Poem John. An admireable tribute to the poor souls who were doomed on that ship. This poem (The Sea) wasn't meant to be a dark one, but it's good to have respect for the Power of the Sea. Those people just weren't prepared.

You truly have the soul of a poet John. (smiles)

Sincerely

Beth
