Berthed in deep rolling blue waves
concave wooden throat built by men who armored her
over steel petticoat
where shellfish dote
hundreds sleeping in her nave
Telescope facing westward
night turned to mellow
Hawaiian dawn's dew in morn newborn sun to follow
dire whistles blow
evident world wide war spurred
Best Navy in entire world
foiled communique`
scores of lives immortalized
that sky's December day
harbor soiree
thunderous Heavens unfurled
Written for Sunday's mini challenge over at imaginary garden with real
toads...this form of poetry in stanzas of 6 lines with rhyme; I used the subject
of war, peace, armistice in accordance with Veterans Day.
