Morning on the Aguirre (sea)

Morning on the Aguirre (sea)
(The Haikus style poem, with Ramage Style Inners)



Wilder, colder waves crashing
with mad, angry winds
on the Aguirre…!

Dangerous dark-headed skis
have passed
now the Aguirre is passive!

Now that there is calm—
everyone’s in the lounge
having coffee, pastry

White tipped mountains
raise above our ship
aboard the Via Australis…

The Captain came by greeted me
diverging to the bridge
a feel…

of the ocean—
to tighten the ankles of the ship
where few dare sail…



Note 1: This is kind of a new style poem (a Haiku, style form, with Rob Bly’s Ramage style inners, meaning using the: er, in air, ar, to provoke the poem to a higher edge):
