Battling.
Sea crosses curved world,
aborting its waters
as ebb and fall tides
hold ocean from flooding
earth's bolstered sides
so life can go forward
against crashes and cries
of breaker destruction
while brave fisher-folk work
to keep boats on shores
when waves become mighty.
No task more praise-worthy
than battling sea storms.

Good write Fay.
Another amazing poem Fay
Poetry themed on the sea is always well received , isn't it Fay? This one is especially so, highlighting fisher-folk.
I'll try to stay dry as I read.

ANGELA HERE - Thanks FAY a challenging Photo & Poem. A Friend of ours from the (East Coast Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen) gives talks on their work - entitled *The Price of Fish & Chips* ! This is something we forget as we enjoy our *Cod 'n Chips 'n Mushy Peas* Angela & I have just had that but having heard Bob's talk the College Seniors Club we never complain about the PRICE and would pay double for the fish ! The *PRICE* is the Hardship & Injury & even Death sufferead every Year by the DS Fishermen ! Their Pay & Return is relatively low and their health in their (short) Retirement is often impaired. Your elegant (as usual) Poem is an excellent tribute to those who battle every day (especially in Winter) with the Wind & Waves to secure our FISH SUPPER - wherever we my be in the UK ! In our local Restaurants Brian & I regularly choose SEA BASS perfect in Texture & Taste when POACHED ~ AMEN Thanks for caring. Please check *IT SNOWED TODAY* - THANKS !
BLESSINGS & Peace & Joy
Love Angela & Brian 💛🤍💛🤍💛
So very true Fay and your words portray the bravery of these people.
