Forlornly I gaze out to an empty sea
Looking for the ferry that was stolen from me.
I know it was ought
That it needed to change port
But that makes it no less sad for thee.

Tasmania spirit belongs to Geelong I guess. You are melodramatic today
ReplyDeleteRoentate, I enjoy being melodramatic.
DeleteI am sure that the bay is not empty
ReplyDeleteIn spite of the loss of your boat
If you play I spy
With your little eye
You will see some containers afloat.
Not bad work Caro and yes, I do container ships.
DeleteWe were only talking about this the other day…..moving it down there is (selfishly) putting us off using it. It would be like a days journey for us before we even got on. It’s easier to get to the airport!
ReplyDeleteCathy, the only benefit is to take your car and given the distance you would drive to the ferry, you would be better off hiring a car after flying to Tassie.
DeleteThe sight of big ships sailing into port each day is breath taking. And so is the trip to Tassie on board.
ReplyDeleteI do see cruise ships at times Hels.
DeleteYou're writing poetry now? oh the culture!
ReplyDeleteI would miss seeing the ferry too after being able to all those years. Perhaps you need to move closer to where it now is so you can watch it again.
River, isn't it nearly a limerick? No, not moving. Not until there is ice on our balcony.
DeleteWaxing poetic. I love it! Do some more!
ReplyDeleteDon't encourage me Strayer, but thanks.
Deletelol
DeleteSomeday your ship will come in.
ReplyDeleteYeah Kirk, but we are already too old to spend large amounts of money.
DeleteLove the poetry. A little melancoly but well put together. Can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeleteMarie, surely it was it was rather simple stuff, but thanks.
DeleteIt's never to late to become a poet !!! Maybe you start a new career !
ReplyDeleteDearest Gattina, you have made me more keener.
DeleteSounds like you have drunk "The Spirit of Tasmania" because the last word of the third line should be "thought" not "ought"! See me in my office after school laddie!
ReplyDeleteYP, I thought you would approve of my use of old Middle English.
DeleteI love watching ships come and go.
ReplyDeleteTP, certainly passenger ships. Freight ships don't excite me.
