BRIAN & ANGELA

WE ARE SAILING ..................... ! A Blank Verse Sonnet

 

 

ALBACORES ON WINDERMERE ~ ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT ~ FREEDOM

 

Is it envy or nostalgia ~ That brings 

Me peering at the craft bobbing on\'t water ?

Nosing at each boat moored along the quay\'

I have sailed ~ mainly Albacores ~ they were

Considered safe for Children ~ mast tethered

Life jacketed ~ Mini Michelin Men ! 

 

Inland Lakes ~ Bala and Windermere

Were our playground ~ I dreamed to own a Yacht !

But Scousers had to be satisfied with ......

Ferry \'cross the Mersey ~ With the one I love !

Now I can afford to go on cruises

Europe ~ Baltic ~ Alaska ~ West Indies !

 

But I have never owned ~ My own YACHT

And I have always lived close to WATER !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN

 

Do you live near water ~ do you like Water Sports ?

The British are of course an Island Race with Lakes

and the Coast for Sailing and wonderful Rivers for

Long Boating and Canoeing. We are all \"Sons and

Daughters of the Sea ~ River and Lakes\" BRIAN XOX
