A Rispetto for a contest. I really don't have much experience in form poetry |
| A weary crew lounges around On tired timbers lost to time Their minds drift home with love unbound A soft sweet song begins to chime The dead of night; a moon lit sky Tides crash along the shoals nearby She calls to them o’er crashing waves Her song softly makes them her slaves Awake on deck, the sailors lean Straining to hear the Sirens’ song Towards the shoals the ships careen Feeling as though nothing is wrong She gently walks along the shore Discards the harp she plays no more The sailors lost upon the seas Are gifts in order to appease |
