When the Sea Fret Hit
As the sea fret hit the shore, bolder than brass
with no sign of shame at all
She did sweep all in her path before her
and to each side, brass monkeys came to mind
Then without a blush at all
she kissed that sailors haar’s and wove him a
tale more fragile than lace, hoar frost feathered ..

sounds rough
but hey, sailor's getting lucky with that peck, so can't complain really, lol
(I think this is my 10th 'lol' this morning...
too much coffee, in my coffee
me thinks)
especially since Nature be a wondrous mistress...
(forgive me, I tried to relate best I could, but not really got me sea legs, let alone the lingo)
still, thanks for the informatively fun read, dear Poet
the fact you took the time to check in and consider these words is the most important thing L.B and for that, I thank you .. N
Haar (I'll) be saying it's a fine write N.
I haar yaarh lard n clear saahr ................... taah Mr. O ... N 🙂
Good acting innit, from both of us?! Did ya have to have ya leg chopped off to play Long John Silver?!
The sea fog can be mysterious, or it can lead a sailor astray without a compass! Me thinks yours weaved tall tales of woes! Just like a dame 🌝
thank you my Dove ......................................... and then some 🙂
I lost myself in this mystery sea fret.
... write out 500 times 'I must try harder' ...................... thanks so much for indulging me today my friend .. N 🙂
Despite the atmosphere and atmospherics (are they different?) your piece evokes, all this is a wee bit hard for me, Nev – so I’m afraid I will have to play the antipodean absentee card once more…. As I sus it , two ideas form:
- Hoar has an association with frost, yet according to my calculation, arrived at after standing on my head (puts myself more in your position and improves circulation to half defunct gray matter), you should by now be in Autumn –
- Which brings me to a “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness”
So how come?
we call it poetic license in the trade DD .................... cheers tho' n truly 🙂

That sea fog can be so enthralling and so frightening Neville.
