Voyage

[This poem was written earlier today at a poetry contest held within our college. The subject was provided then and there and a time of 1 hour was alotted. This is what I managed to come up with, and if nothing else atleast it will help add to the volume of this particular page.]

Out amid the endless seas

In a ship of blue and gray -

Peter Parker's maiden voyage

To places far away.

The mast is stripped of its sails

Like a wanton who is through;

The deckboards cry in agony

'Neath Parker's wooden shoe.

Whither he hails from no one knows;

Destination lies unknown -

"The journey is all that matters now",

Says Parker, all alone.

"For need we plan our trip, my friends

"When all roads lead to Rome?

"Meet 'ya where the journey ends- 

"Make ya feel at home.

"Look yonder, where the fishes are - 

"The sapphire skies above;

"Raindorps on your fingertips -

"Teardrops filled with love.

"And storms, they pass me by sometimes -

"Troubles, they come and go.

"Weathered through it all, you know,

"'Cause I love the sunshine so."

With that, Parker steers his ship,

Whither, he wouldn't say.

Set out on your maiden voyage...

Maybe he'll come your way.

Yours sincerely,

Jude
