Distances In Voyage Measured In Ship Time Poem by Terence George Craddock
Distances In Voyage Measured In Ship Time
continents once seemed so far apart
so dangerous to travel hard to get to
distances in voyage measured in ship time
welcome to cramped unsanitary conditions
sailing ships at mercy of wind weather tide
at mercy of confined disease bad food doldrums
evils scurvy ship wreck piracy all wait risk ready
with sea sickness no sea legs to give helping hand
nightmare ship sinking drowning might visit nightly
Written in October 2020 on the 27.10.2020.
Inspired by the poem 'All Continents' by the poet Deluke Muwanigwa.
Dedicated to the poet Deluke Muwanigwa.
A split image from the poem 'Continents Contracted Into Safe Sanitary Distances' by the poet Terence George Craddock.
