captain...far on the high seas
he relies on the boat
sorrow in the sea, crying with the wind
why do not you call me to share grief, captain?
seaside is still empty, I count the boats will start when you come
fact, until the sun is sinking, you do not arrive
where are you captain?
your wife has prepared your favorite corn soup, you must be greedy when you eat
the morning, why do you kiss me three times with a view of empty
oh, dad.... are you the first victims of the tsunami?
I second course, now I am sinking...do you also?
have been missed .... why I can not count the boats
dad, you are my captain!
mama, I love your corn soup!

Poetry: Lost at sea
by Words of Art
Floating endlessly on the waves
The shore no longer beckons
Surrounded by the billows and gales
A force with which he reckons
Longing
WIDOW'S WAILS
He sailed away one windy March day
Just a short voyage, ‘twould take but a day
“I’ll return
by Emma Feneley
Waves
scrape the
skies
with
monotonous
ease
pushing silent
held
comforts
lost
under seas.
Ship of Souls
They slowly drift through heavy mist, their voyage slow and dark.
A ship without a captain, any crew or any
by Parin Waljee
The waves roaring ferociously
she keeps looking for it,
Tears hidden underneath the wetness
rapidly her heart starts to beat.
