It has a real touch of authenticity though - the reader can get carried away and begin to have a sense of going on a cruise - a taste of foreign climes and cultures!

Your imagery in your words takes the reader to far off places. You have a smooth poetic form that adds to the feel of a fun cruise. Your rhyming of words also gives a steady beat to your words. Your poem makes the reader want to take a cruise.

Hi Barry
This is a nicely rhymed and metered poem. I hope the seas flowed as smoothly as your poem. Sound like many sights were seen on the trip. I have been on one cruise and would like to go on another too.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

You're very welcome, Barry, So do I.
Wouldn't it be nice to have fanstory members meet in the Caribbean after cruising there?

You bet. I will be there. Take care.
Comment from Janet Foor
A creative and clever poem with a dramatic twist at the end. I didn't see that coming. We went on one cruise that we laughingly call "The Cruise from Hell". The seas were so rough that the swimming pools were emptied and I couldn't even sleep in my tiny cabin (nothing like the Love Boat) cabins.
I enjoyed your poem. Sounds much better than my memories. I may have to reconsider another cruise.
Blessings
Janet.

Janet,
Thanks for your review. Yes, when you get bad weather, it can really spoil the experience. Give it another try. I think it is a great way to travel. Take care and have a wonderful day.

Comment from Daylily
The purpose of a cruise is to get away from all the hassle encountered each day, and take a break from stress by just relaxing way out upon the rolling sea. What a fantasy for most everyday kind of people. It is a good one, however, and dreaming of such things is actually a healthy thing to do.
I am glad you have had the opportunity to be on a cruise ship. I heard about the wonderful amenities so I am daydreaming, too. :-)

Comment from CrystieCookie999
Clever poem that uses rhyme and sensory details such as: seas of blue and surging foam
And glorious sandy bays
The leafy palms~
I liked reading this poem. It was a reminder that some of us need vacations a little more often than once every fifteen years, ha ha. In the meantime, the imagination sure helps us along!

Wow. Thanks for the six- star review. Glad it hit the spot. Yes, we all do need more holidays, but I still do a lot of daydreaming. All the best to you and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Comment from Dawn Munro
OH! I was not expecting that final stanza at all (and I am still smiling). Your poem is highly evocative -- I felt as if I were traveling and seeing the sights too. Very nicely done!

Comment from RJ Heritage
Clever and witty, brought some humor into the day. Imagine if you were to go on a literal cruise! I have been on two myself; found myself often drifting in and out of "DiCaprio's" character on that infamous voyage. I am thinking that perhaps you have been on one or two. Nicely done.

Thanks for the review, Roy. I have now satisfied my curiosity with cruising. Enjoyed it very much. Love the food and just doing nothing, if you want to go that way. Take care and enjoy your day.
