This is a truly excellent poem--skillfully and creatively written and vividly descriptive, conveying a powerful message about how one may be lured into something that seems SO appealing--then can't escape.

A seaman's life was hard in those days. But it's the life many chose. Thank you so much for a lovely review.
Comment from T B Botts
Whoa! How I wish I had six stars to award you for this. I spent four years in the navy, and since 1978 I've been a commercial fisherman. Not quite brown bread and brackish water, but there has been many a day when I wondered what I was doing there on the boat. Even worse the days when you're praying that God will get you to a safe harbor; that you won't be one of the unfortunate souls who've met their fate out on the sea. Very well done gal. Very well done. Congratulations.

Thank you. I'm so glad you could relate to my story poem. I have a great affinity with 'old salts,' so much that I think I must have been one in a former life. lol. Thank you for a wonderful review.
