240. Ghost Ships Of The Deep Poem by Jaden Knight

240. Ghost Ships Of The Deep



Far beneath the surface of every ocean
travel the ghosts of every boat and ship
that has been lost at sea
since the dawn of time

From the first coracle made by man
to the man of war under full sail
even the most modern war ships and subs
all can be found here

On every vessel the crew can be found
carrying out their orders efficiently
no trace of fear can be found on their faces
no sign of how they met their fate

With no course or destination set
they travel ever on
hoping that one day they can port
and return to the ones they love

Great poem. For a title, how about 'Phantoms of the Deep'?

The sea is a harsh mistress, and has taken so many over the many centuries, from warrors to sailors to fishers to travelers. Your poem expresses this loss so elgantly and with beautiful sadness. As for a title, I usually have a hard time with my own titles, but here are a couple thoughts. No Way Home Forever Sailing
