please substitute 'greet' for 'great' - in this

 

too much of a hurry

 

aye?

wow...quite enthralling, Mikhail. I am a great fan of the writings of  Immanuel Velikovsky and his “Ages in Chaos�?series. You kind of touch on those wonders he tries to explain.

 

 

PS this is a place I made for somethings of this nature, short stories or simply story telling pieces, thanks for gracing it with this piece. 

thanks very much Zy for taking the time to read and comment

 

sorry for being so bold as to ask - but i really wanted some feedback and it appears that this 'corner' of the corner isn't read that often

 

i also wrestled with putting this on the poetry part of the corner but it was too long and it did not rhyme much at all - read more like a story

 

i think writing about old hands having gone to sea is just another rather sneaky way for my internal poet to write about nature -  in the vernacular

 

i also think i - and others enthralled with the sea - are so because the sea provides graphic  - even epic - sturggles with the power contained therein - particularly since humans struggle in a medium in which their physiology doesn't allow them to go without devices like ships - or at lwast a floter of some kind

 

the tales of the sea are endless

 

thanks very much again Zy - great and insightful commentary as usual,

No problems in your asking, Mikhail, I was flattered, but this is worthy of placing on the main board. Do post it also there to get a more general view. I do keep an eye here, but have been lakse of late.

 

I often suggest to others to place pieces in Prose as then it stays on the surface much longer, especially if it is a story piece and has taken time in preparation. This part used to be read more frequently, Mikhail, or at least commented on, but as with the main page, some read more and don't always leave comments. Something I am endevouring to change. Everything goes through phases, Playpage was a popular spot until recently and it is quiet at the moment. The main board is that, and the others optional extras.

 

Your reply makes so much sense to me, Mikhail, my husband was an officer in the navy when we met (well, still in his last year of studies) but after nine years at sea, he has a love of being by the sea, as do we all and both homes here and in France are close to the shore and, we both love sailing. He takes the challenge more seriously than I though and used to do a lot of windsurfing off the shore. So, yes, the sea is indeed a wonderous source of nature and majestic with it. Zy

Thanks for the reply Zy

 

i was in the navy as well - but loved the water (prefer the sea) long before that

 

now i would like to live near the sea but am landlocked on the farm for now

 

thanks again,
