Again you are a true poet. I too relate to the blood of you. The scars you tell. The hope that you spell. I am enthralled in your image of this life. Your presence is felt threw your renderings.. Great Job. Poets I think are the conscious of our whole world. Thanks for feeling and watching and not being afraid of the biggest waves. LOL.

This poem reads well either as a literal ship story or as an extended metaphor. I prefer thinking of it as the latter and hope that the ship has seen it's captain to a safe harbour in the end. I've nothing to suggest to improve this, it's wonderful just the way it is.

all i can say is that was something outstanding and well done. i just love how writings can use rhymes every other sentence and still make sense through it all.

EXCELLENT.
You have a way with words that's for sure.I know life isn't the good ship lolly-pop, but remember the promise in the Holy Bible, Hang onto that blessed hope. Before you know it you'll be in the sweet bye, and bye, where you'll meet our loving maker on that beautiful shore.
I like the way you incorporate life as a ship in troubled waters. Oh it would be proper to capitalize the g in the word God since it refers to the supreme creator, it assigns deity. I'm sorry for your pain, but I'm glad to see you writing such soulful poetry, it lasts forever.
Gods blessings my friend: Rev. Karl.

A very good poem. I love the rhyming scheme. I tried to understand if this is about a real captain on a ship, or about life, or both. Either way it is a good poem.

Stunning. I loved it. Excellent the way you describe yourself as the captain of a ship.
"As the seas do their best to beat me, I strap myself to the helm.
Feet gripping to the deck"

What a wonderful, beautifully written, extremely sad poem!
I can't imagine what you must be feeling to be writing something so dark as this. Whatever is happening in your world???
I have missed seeing you on here. :0)

Very well penned with feeling and good use of metaphors that bring the essence of your feelings to the surface like so much drift wood scattered by the waves. You're creative and innovative in your subject matter. The words are descriptive and float their message onto the page with a steady hand and a splash of wisdom that captures the reader's imagination and attention.

I'm an old sailor and could tie right into your sailing lines. "Another use
for the rope" that tethers you to your vessel. That's good. Of course
I never spewed my cargo from the deck, unless you're talking about a
can of "Old Foggy" and some cigarettes. Very well done.
