Description: It's about Mary Celeste (a little research won't hurt) the ship. One day, as the crew set out, they never reached bayshore. It had been 14 days beyond the scheduled time. As a search team set out, they found the ship, drifting off course with each and every crew member and civilian missing. No signs of violence or anything of the sort. There's a theory that states that they were abducted by aliens. I sort of poem-ized the whole situation.
Mary Celeste -------------------------------------------
Trees are known for all the tragedies
That they keep to themselves
A ruthless story per ring
Wood yearns to burn
I can only wish to burn dear God
I have been tenaciously denied my salvation
So all I can do is weep
And tell the world
That 'twas not a seaquake
And it was not a pirate pillaging
But a bright, bright light
Purer than white
Which dissolved my immemorial master
In its misty sleaves
Her lovely wife
What about the frock-fashioned little girl?
And the whole crew dear Lord
My destiny isn't to burn
But to soften underwater
Like bones in vinegar...
wow, creative. I too know the story, but I never had the motivation to write a poem about it. I think you've got the just of it, although you could be clearer, but then again, the mystery adds to it. A very good write! -becca
