The Legend of the Goodship Mary Flower

Contributed by thepizzaguy on Thursday, 21st July 2005 @ 05:26:25 PM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry

I know a Goodship named Mary Flower
That sailed in bewitching hour
She kept her crew safe all through the night
Threw wind and snow and passing showers

The valiant captain’s name was John
He was always someone you looked up upon
He made men work for 10 hours a day
But his men always had something to focus on

For the men missed their wives and their families too
Even John missed his family when he was blue
The dream of reuniting is what kept them alive
They even thought of their wives when drinking the brew

But late one night, the fog was thick
John felt danger with every clock tick
He knew not what was out there, but he knew it was bad
He knew he must act, and he must act quick

John was too late on that foggy night
He could not save the sailors from their horrible plight
They hit ice and sank into the dark, dark sea
On a night quite like this, a night like tonight

If you look out at sea in the bewitching hour
Right as 12 strikes from atop the bell tower
You will see a ghost ship searching for port
This, my friends...

…is the Goodship Mary Flower…

Very entertaining and very well done

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
