A great tale of the sea for this Halloween time. Creepy with fog and mist, the smell of seaweed over graveyard stones and even a ghost. An excellent poem for the season.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

'bringing a wet chill that sets deep in the night watchman's bones' (This 'chilled' me as I read it!)

'His torch flickers, in the whisper of wind,
dancing, bobbing and weaving gently,
as tendrils of soft light bleed
into the heavy dark shadows.'
(A gorgeous picture was painted here.)

I saw you poem played out before my eyes!

Best of luck in the Halloween Poetry contest.

This is a grand old tale of the sea, and the men who venture down to apprehend its danger, mysteries and both malevolence and its great blessing. The sea is as mysterious as life itself, unpredictable, seductive and immensely attractive to the seeker of adventure and meaning. Well done Jim, beautifully written, blessings Roy

This is a very fitting free verse poem incorporating all the creepiness and mystique of Halloween. The green graphic adds to the aura created by your words. Very well written, good luck in the contest.

A very well-written Halloween free verse poem and the grave yard at sea where the ghostly maidens are known to lure sailors to their death when they seem to be so lonely.

    My dear friend! I have been literally hiding under a rock...I am scheduled for another surgery November 5th, after a long (from my perspective) running set of diagnostics to figure out where I have been having an internal bleed, they found several staples that were used to close my chest wall after the open heart surgery have failed and have been cutting into My sternum, so I get to get a plate installed to hold the sternum together after they go in and do some debris removal.

    Jim my friend,
    MY GOD! - Sounds worthy of a horror story and just in time for the big spooky day. Best of luck with the journey and I know all will go well.
