Sunday Night Sea Fever

Poets United

A poem based on " Sea Fever" by John Masefield


' i must go down to the seas again to the lonely sea and the sky '

but something says no i should not go, there is danger lurking on  by

an ominous mood deep seated inside warns me of a serial stalker

i can easily be fooled by a bragging buffoon they're witty and noted great talkers

' all i ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her  by '

no merry yarns or bad lame jokes from a laughing fellow rover

' just a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over '
