Wicked Folly At My Back Poem by Captain Cur
Wicked Folly At My Back
Morning calls with a sickening frown
wicked folly at my back,
sea gulls softly wail
circling bout my weathered ship,
circling, circling round
hunting for their daily food,
living without care,
powerfully dive then quickly rise
above September's cloudy veil.
Then like lightening from the sky
I see her coming down;
her skin is white, her eyes are pale,
her beauty cold as death;
waves in madness flee her wrath
in frenzied swirls are spent,
her voice thunders from above
a demon in despair,
in an act of desperate love
I lift her bridal veil.
September's mighty winds rise against me
borne by blackened clouds godless as the deep,
the horn of winter blows impatiently
stealing from the water the summer's heat.
Hurricane's decry as the ocean weeps,
I am in the forefront of their wails.
Rank and accomplishment whom do they please
tributes to kings who grow tired and weak
their wood ships tossed about in the gales.
September winds blow! I lash tight the sails.
interesting stanza with SIMILE- Then like lightening from the sky I see her coming down; her skin is white, her eyes are pale, her beauty cold as death; waves in madness flee her wrath in frenzied swirls are spent, her voice thunders from above a demon in despair, in an act of desperate love I lift her bridal veil. excellent
