Sea Mail Poem by Frederick Nellist

Sea Mail



Composing a letter of charm and wit
I think I have over done it a bit
I'm going to post it way out at sea
No stamp required postage is free.

The envelope is made out of glass
The address unknown and no compass
Heaven knows how far it will float
Who then I wonder will find my note.

Heart felt dreams are hidden inside
Where it goes depends on the tide
Washed up on some far flung coast
Oh please answer by return of post.

Oh please bottle don't you get lost
On angry seas all tempest tossed
Will someone handsome answer my pleas
Perhaps King Neptune, oh yes please.

Two years since my letter was mailed
Today I've learned my efforts failed
My bottle washed up on Blackpool sands
The very same spot where my house stands.
