So, Aiona, are you alluding to his time during sex or his driving with pulling out. I assume it is the first, due to the notes.
You should always wait for the captain to tell you to pull in the anchor.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

    I'm not really sure what I was alluding to here, but definitely something sexual. EVERYTHING this guy says is some kind of innuendo. He's got no filter. To give an example of how much he blabs about himself, he actually announced he's had a vasectomy in the middle of the yacht club once. REALLY LOUDLY. As I said..... no filter whatsoever. :)

    He does need to be taught some tact and secrecy, it seems.

    Yeah, I probably shouldn't be writing about him either. I should just tell him how I feel. But somehow I think he wouldn't care anyway! :) Hence the poetry....

    That makes sense. But at least you could try and get it over with

Well, that's a fun word play of "anchor baby!" I remember you wrote about the sexual behavior of sailors and this "hasty" one seemed to be one that you wrote about. Great use all syllables! Best wishes in the contest!

    Thanks, lyenochka. Yeah. Same guy. He's not all bad. Just...I am not sure I want him sailing on my boat anymore. I think the feeling is mutual!

I don't know why your poem puts a smile on my face, Aiona. I think it's because of the very personal "baby" after the mention of "pulling out" and the connotation of "pulling up" meaning to stop an act before completion--or "coitus interruptus."

Of course, it can all be taken in the nautical sense of pulling up an anchor and that would be the surface meaning. But that's no fun!

I thoroughly enjoy this 5-7-5. And you should be quite proud of it as an entry.

    Thanks, Jay. I had fun writing it. When I'm mad, writing poetry is my sublimation.

Oh dear, your friend sounds a little dangerous! He must learn to think before he acts, I hope you are okay, accidents when you are sailing can cost you your life, a poignant write, love Dolly x
