A watery coronation
of sorts
today
Three 'Queens'
proud bows
sail to the
bay
Sparkling reflection
stock
their finest
regal hues
displayed
in Cunard's
Dock
Southampton's
proud dames
tread water lightly
to bask in reflected
glory
rightly due
The gleaming glamour
game played by
the seafaring
pilgrims
on their
transatlantic tale

Only you could see the 'smut' in 'Queens'...
Having said that...the language is a bit camp throughout....can't stop thinking about three 'Queens' rolling up dockside now...oh the cliches!
Naughty girl...LOL

Royal Navy
"Buggery and Rum" Sir Winston Churchill
but then again Cunard was never part of the military flotilla
she just allowed her usage of her transatlantic babes
for troopships
and it was Lizzie who sliced the little destroyer in half
wasnt it!!
the zig when zag went astray
Keep thinking of American Pirates
of Malta..against inevitably the navy
heavily armed and manned by poor
sods sometimes plucked from the
Quays in their cups
Cunard built some nice vessels
though
"teat" cant help but to think
of the maidens they carved
in wooden ship days
Thank You
LOL
Sailors, Queens, Ships & teats....it's all life here in Southampton!
Like Esker...
I can't help thinking of the days when bowsprits were carved with half naked maidens. In wondering why, I thought of many different reasons, but the one answer that appealed to me most, was that I believe that mankind has the inherent knowledge that the ocean and motherhood have a deep connection. Of course the more obivious thing is, given that ocean voyages were such long drawn out affairs, it might be that he just wanted to be reminded of what a beautiful woman looked like. LOL ~ Gee
This is really good! Yes,
This is really good! Yes, you do have a style of your own, and it works.

Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you,
I'm trying very hard to develop my own style...as usual when we start out we are a little like a magpie, nicking stylistic features here & there...but I'm gaining confidence and tackling different themes.
Although you won't find me being inspired by the British weather, it's too benign...or my dog, he's adorable but thick and wouldn't make a good muse!

one must have ones own style
one must have one’s own style
for decades now,
I have composed
FREESTYLE POETRY
as I know sweet, fa, about the finesse
you all express...
I am still a novice
in the art
but thank Neopoets
for letting me be a part
of the elite
like you all are
I still am an upstart
yes course
you may laugh.
There is room for all of us loved...
....and you my friend are unique....keep on doing what you want!

Re. As per 'Three Queen Welcome'
Reading Ellie, you’re constantly assailed by the notion that she is writing down what you have always known, except that you’ve never thought of it before. This is highly unnerving; fortunately, you’re usually too busy smiling like crazy. I can think of no finer poem to have beside me while land masses implode and sea floors explose, while the world ends.
