We wonder just what went on onboard this ship. We may choose to stare at it and imagine a very festive atmosphere, perhaps celebrations until dawn, when the ship returned to harbor.

    I didn't know about the Maharishi, that sounds awful. I know many cult leaders take advantage of their position to abuse women.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to review my poem. Have a lovely day.

I know 'Sexy Sallie' was a Beatles song, but my mind is wondering if he didn't name this boat after a lady who caught his attention. I am betting he did, and she was very much part of his life. Thank you for sharing this poem with us.

    You are right, Barbara. Men like to name their boats, cars, motorcycle, etc.. with women's names. I chose Sexy Sadie because it sounds like a good match for 'ship' and it's a cool name. I love the Beatles.

    I appreciate your kind review and insightful feedback.

I vaguely remember Sexy Sadie - a Beatles song, wasn't it? Anyway, there must be some event associated with it that might elucidate your poem. I'm guessing the torn ship is a metaphor, maybe for someone who was young and damaged.

    Yes, sexy Sadie is a Beatles song. Fisherman and men who own ships have a close relationships with them, as they do with cars, many give special names, usually women's names to their ships, cars, etc. I just like sexy Sadie and goes well with 'ship'. It could also be a metaphor of a lover who can't let go ... even after death or the end of the relationship. Thank you very much, Tony. I appreciate your insightful review. Have a great night.

The title did not prepare me for the poem and perhaps that's the effect you wanted. The ship was symbolic of his love and the ship continued to gravitate toward him. Great use of alliteration!

Those old songs do linger and pop up every now and then and you managed to remind us here of the past as this old ship tries to reach the shore, very inventive, love Dolly x

Born to roam can lead to destructive outcomes, this reminds me of ships passing in the night, where lovers met and unfortunately lost their chance for true love, very well written****kahpot

A sexy ship must be a ship that celebrates celebrities. I know they have shows on ships or even have dancing. I am sure they get a little groovy with their moves.

    Douglas,

    Thank you very much for the kind words and insightful review. I am happy you like it. I try to write a variety of styles and moods to keep it interesting. As a good Spaniard, I am a bit dramatic. LoL
