BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT


Do you smell it, lads,
that’s the sea, livid, vengeful!.
She’s outraged
that battleships have mixed
blood and oil
all over atop
salt water!.

The metallic taste
in her mouth, the viscous
slop mixing on the surface!.
Do you blame her,
vomiting up
Sailors and Marines,
like so much rancid meat…

These are not the men she called!.
This is not the tide she tends to!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Hey I'm a Marine
no ocean touches me,
I ride the waves
in obscurity!.

but I do admit
catching a disease,
from one of those waves
while I was at ease!.

tumbled and tossed
spread all around
it's a wonder the ship
didn't sink right on down!.!.

that wave wasn't water
she was dressed in white
I can promise you this
I'll never forget that night!.

great poem, I had fun reminiscing!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
