At least he remembered all is good! Although, a lot of us do take for granted the fact that we can just dash across to our folks with any news. Thanks for the reminder! 💜

Steer Well Clear of Dorset Buoys

You set the tone of this poem beautifully in the voice of the salty old sailor, and his warings. A tale to delight, told around the campfire. Loved it!

A bit of trivia: Isolated danger markers on the waters, are two black balls on a black bouy.

Steer Well Clear of Dorset Buoys

My comments on the poem \"Steer well clear of Dorset buoys” by Neville
In yon stretching resort land, one must never trust those buoys and even less those lasses. As for the lads, ‘tis not just Bridport and West Bay. Nothing and nobody be as they appear; ne’er trust yon fake smile. The gulls be giving out warning signs that one must heed. They have seen a lot but they can only talk gull language. ‘Tis for us to decipher. Thou must, indeed, ne’er relax vigilance and always remember what’s for thy own good. Sirens and pirates have got to be fed and they feed on the unsuspecting. They be hungry like whales, crafty as foxes and slippery like snakes. “Be most afear’d” indeed. Thou be right : foul weather be nothing. Look for the real dangers and “stay alert.” Stay clear of them lads, lasses and buoys, for they have a myriad tricks up their sleeves. Buoys are meant to warn : but, buoys might deceive… Some buoys can save thee : some can sink thee… Soman Ragavan. 20 August, 2023. //

I always look forward to your titles! You again, did not disappoint. Thank you for the explanation in the comment section. And by the way, you\'ll never (never say never but...) find me out at sea. Not my thing...so I will steer well clear! BUT, I do love Homer\'s Odyssey! Yes, the sirens lured sailors to their death...but still...beautiful. 💜

Fear Silence Not

Nothing to fear in silence, aside from the sheer volume your own thoughts then create to occupy the space...

When I was in 6th grade I read the dictionary for free reading time because I had already read the entire library at the school. I still had to double check on this poem lol

So true about the awkwardness of silence, the nature symbolism takes the fear out and brings mysteries ‘echoed’ … This is why I enjoy the essence of your poetry, Neville.
