A Russian Sailor

"think of it as a feeling"

A Russian Sailor 

 

As the fish sing in the marshes rail

The boatman watches while he sails 

Up the mountain, across the lake 

Caught on the way he lived in jail 

 

From the lake on stolen bail 

Trying to leave no possible trail

This escape he hopes shan't fail

 

To his wife he sent a loving mail 

Through his only friend a humpback whale

 

To meet his kids he sailed unafraid  

The whole of his life he just laid

A long time he had been a maid

Long time he had not been paid 

 

A Russian sailor from marshes rail

No worries for free he now sails

foreboding, vivid imagery. the loving mail via humpback whale seems quirky, but playful.

A amazing use of words. Many good visions create by your description. A sailor life is a hard one. Separation and fighting the sea. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
