  Your poetry packs a strange punch. I can't really put my finger on it. If I had to say, it would be that it's both playful and serious at the same time. It's really perplexing. Anyways, well done. Happy writing friend.

    THANKS NICHOLAS ~ for your comment ! The answer lies in that fact that I want my poetry ( in the main) to both entertain & educate ~ OK ~ BRIAN

  Rarely put feet on water so to speak although did go on the ferry Cross the Mersey a few months back and last month was on the River Douro in Portugal so not doing so bad. Nevertheless I appreciate this poem and the fascination for water.

  I love it Brian. The way you feel about yachts (or boats, or ships) I feel about motorcycles!

    Thanks FRED ~ I would love a Harley and have driven one in the USA. My biggest motorbyke was an AJS 350 cc ! I only drive cars now and would love a Ford Mustang ! Yours BRIAN

    My first bike was a 250cc BMW single cylinder thumper, then I rode a 450cc Honda with racing fairing and souped up motor. That was in Switzerland before I emigrated to Canada. In Montreal I raced motocross for a few years, was even Quebec Champ in the Senior Open Class. Now have a 1988 Honda Hawk GT NT650. They only sold them in the US for three years and it has become kind of a cult bike. Needs a little bit of TLC now, but it still runs good. Wrote a poem about motorcycles a while back. It is not very good, but maybe I will post it one of these days.

  I too live near water. Love rafting or canoeing down a river. Don't get to boat as much but I love it! Much like I loved your poem! I envy that you can go on cruises to all those places. Great job! Hugs--Christina

    Well CHRIS I guess it's because I'm still single ~ but i know I should be saving up for a House and College fees etc instead of CRUISING ! I think my poem today rippled a lot of ponds ~ some nice comments ! Love canoeing and have organised and led Christian Canoe camps and Sailing Camps for Young People ~ Lots of FUN but also lots of responsibility ~ Liquid HUGS BRIAN

  I live in Florida and we are surrounded by water. We have ponds and canals everywhere. We have a beautiful park on the neighborhood where one rent canoes and go down the river. Very soft. The beach is just about 7 miles away because I live in Jupiter Farms. I'm not so good with water though. Love the beach when the water is soft and not wavy. Thanks for your beautiful poem.
