  Seaward On

  

  By seanturlan, Chicago, IL

  Crashing waves rock my ship from side to side, Lightning and thunder, yet I cannot hide, For I captain this ship, no matter what weather may be,   I steer this wooden beauty to the ends of the sea, Storm calms down now, clear skies in its end, Made tough did the weather for me to...

  The Wicker Tree

  

  By seanturlan, Chicago, IL

  Just below the wicker tree did we first touch lips. Just below the wicker tree your beauty I did admit. Just below the wicker tree we swore our love to a pact. Just below the wicker tree your hands crossed behind your back. Just below the wicker tree I for an instant shut my eyes. And what else...
