I agree with you, our goal is not wealth nor fame. the writer's duty is to inspire and share insights, the money is just a bonus. This however is an elusive dream, to borrow from your words, for writers find it difficult to dissociate their craft as a source of income. The metaphor of a ship fighting nature and the beasts of the seas is effective to drive your point. Thanks for sharing.

I thank you very much for reading & reviewing it for me, nassus 1957. Your insights and opinions are greatly appreciated, as always.
Comment from Christof McTarnahan
As always, the poem was superb. Whenever I read your work, I take I step back and revaluate my own. You are a benchmark my friend. It was inspiring throughout, and the message was relevant. Keep it up Mr. Nuts.

Hah, ha, Thanks, 'Sak, I will try to! I do much the same thing, evaluate my horror prose based on the ways in which you write and present your own. So, we do pretty much the same thing, when it comes to that. Thanks for such a generous review and rating, my talented horror aficionado.

Super illustration gives the idea of what the poet with masterful rima says in his text, greatimagination and better performance in the art of writing, greetings, blessings

Thanks, I really appreciate the wonderful review, fafa. How do you get your stars to align like that, going downward? I've never seen that before now.
Thanks so much again, and blessings to you as well!
Comment from judester
I love this. Had to read it twice to get the full effect. The illustrations added to the little adventure. The sea as a metaphor for life is so apropos. Danger lurking beneath,stormy and calm seas, vast. I like the line,greed robs the mind,money can blind the import of your dreams., so true. Bravo you, Judester

Comment from Righteous Riter
Good use of the aabb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with vast/last...bow/now. Good description that creates a clear image in my mind. Good alliteration throughout. Nice rhythm and flow. Four eye catching photos followed by a thought provoking message.

Your poetry always scares the bejesus out of me. I think you put a lot of effort and thought into your work especially with the graphic which give your poetic verse a good dark feel. Don
