Sea Legs Poem by Glen Kappy
Sea Legs
"Sea legs"—
what a great expression!
What we all need
to navigate this life.
And if our boat
doesn't rock
do we wallow
still at harbor?
No point in going nowhere. Give me a large dose of courage and those sea legs. (I've chosen the theme Courage for my 2018)
thanks for reading and commenting, laurie. in her sermon this morning our (new) pastor mentioned the connection between risk and faith. amen! i said. in relationship trusting expands and deepens as we risk and those we risk with prove faithful, yes? -glen
Hi, Glen! Nice, snappy piece whose light-hearted question belies a much deeper truth. Now, I, too, will wander over and read your ''Holes'' poem.
This one makes great sense to me and I like the reference...clever and clearly expresses your point. I suppose I should go read holes now. Thanks Glen. Pam(Jette)
hey, jette. (or would you prefer pam? let me know) . funny, i thought i responded to your comment this morning, but there's no evidence i did. anyway, thank you for reading my poem and commenting. may we have the sea legs needed for what remains of our journeys. -glen
thanks, jette. i'm reminded of the idea of not losing our edge—which i understand to mean we don't sink into complacency. and if we do, things have a way of jarring us out of it. -glen

The poet is a creature of multiple worlds, not fully at home in any one. And what makes him ready in one world may not work in another. This poem exists in a suspended moment: I feel there will sudenly come a test of thks poet's worthiness and he will pass it grandly. His effortd to brcome a better poet have made him a better human being.
my boat is rocking at the moment, daniel. this is the third time i'm trying to reply. this time i'll just acknowledge your reading and commenting and offer my thanks. be blessed, daniel! -glen
