A failure at best, say some (clad under cover of
the present) , genocide at
worst, tho his sail across pitching hungry waves required
balls that today might prompt one to seek out
Mare Tranquilitatis via
hot-air balloon, armed only w/ a sextant.
'[L]ike Paradise...' he sd. of his
find, but for
the fact that the
Native brothers & sisters (*in Dio* = 'in God')
insisted on walking about
naked, as tho Adam & Eve sported khakis.
I'm kind of liking these topical poems (or did I read one yesterday by someone else?) - just very succinct, artistic renderings of an event.
An excellent take on an early coloniser... today a genocide (almost) of all indigenous populations... One Peace at a Time, Deana
Chris I think all Explorers of unknown Worlds are incredibly brave and I think Columbus would like your Poem. Good one. All the best David
The poem is rather like Colombus - intrepidly sailing into uncharted waters. Yet it delivers a fresh and cogent perspective with its concise, abbreviated form. Rgds, Ivan

It's good to reexamine the past and poetry is an excellent lens for doing so. Glad I got to read this.
