is an eyeball of bright, peering in the night like a
spar poking through the stillness,
seeking wayward ships before they argue
with shore’s delight
and enter into permanent rest.

very succinct!

Love this, but it feels more like a stanza taken out of a longer poem. It sort of leaves me unsatisfied, not because it isn't good (it really is good), but because I simply want more of it...
Just a suggestion ;-)
Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Well done.
Nathan.

Hello Nathan, thank you for your usual astute observations. Check out the "enhanced" version just posted. I still feel a tweaking is needed; any suggestions? I ALWAYS welcome suggestion to improve my work. Chimo. Richard LP AND my precious wife, Esther.
