    SHIPWRECK OF MY HONEYMOON

    It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon
    Sitting down to plan my life
    Wow! my dreaded fear of my first time
    Perhaps my honeymoon day
    Travel to places I shall
    The places of the beautiful body of my princess
    As my beautiful ship .....my honeymoon.

    Travel I suppose
    Jungle adventure, sea discoverers to new worlds
    The adventure to a new found land
    Some speak of china, others to America, Dubai and London
    Some the fable land of Abuloma.

    But where and how will I go with my princess?
    I would set out first with the hair
    The hair is a forest of ambush and snares and siege
    But the brow becalms me when it is smooth and plain.

    The dark pools of the eyes are dangerous to my ship
    For to be drawn into them will be shipwreck
    The nose like the first meridian
    Leads me to the Island of fortune

    The swelling lips I will anchor here
    And hear the songs of my land
    Then sailing on, past the glorious promontory of chin
    Down to the hills and mountains of the twin breast of the Niger Delta
    We may encounter some Island.

    As we journey down towards the Bonny River
    And I pause at the Atlantic Novel
    Where the current carries my captain on to another forest and grasses
    The forest where many are shipwrecked
    And no further I shall go

    Very interesting, it truly is a piece that makes you think hard on imagery to paint a picture while you are reading it and all. But still good job. Keep up the good work, another 10 from me.

    Very eloquent and romantic my new friend. Seems we both have powerful imaginations. Like John Lennon said, 'You may say that I'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one, I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one'. We are the dreamers he was talking about. Now it is our job to spread the word and recruit the dreamers of the world to unite. Great work. ~Spence

    Imaginative and awesome subject and content, cliffhanger, too.

    Did you find home in your princess, I wonder? I agree with Troub's assessment of your poem completely.

    I agree it is a great symbolism of love and what is to be,and the chalanges that will come.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
