Sarah at dVerse is hosting Poets Pub tonight, and Sarah has invited us to “what3words” the idea is to locate yourself on a web map via what3words and three words are given, of which a poem from three to twelve lines will be constructed. dVerse Poets – Poets Pub – Three Little words
From what3words I received for my map reference – Indulged, Tended, Yachts.
“The fishermen Know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.” Vincent Van Gogh
Across The Waves Moon shimmered on the Blackwood, increasing the mood of night at the edges of my senses, all of the yachts were tethered, but I indulged to my heart and set sail in feltness across the waves of feeling, slipping through the gaps between black and slivers of silvered visions, in rippled moments while moon tended my every direction. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

I have sailed a few times in darkness… and I find there is a special magic in being on the water guided by the moon.
