Parse: Sailing Atlantic Trade Winds

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

Downwind whistles,
Fresh Atlantic chill,
Swell rolling, random wash astern,
My mermaid cleansing deck,
Swish swash,
Gliding through the ocean,

Vast multitude of cloud formations,
Sparse fluffy white cotton balls overspread,
Scattered collections of moisture overshadow,
Horizon befog varigate obscure gloom,
Setting sun cast flaming assemblage,
None alike,

Heavenly asterisks twinkle aplenty,
Sparkling galaxy glistens,
Moon rises from fire to glowing ball,
Howling moon radiates through,
Ocean sparkling,
Lunar shade dwindles,

Dawn aura blush of the morning,
Rising Sun spies upon,
Horizon fiery ablaze

There is classic Polish poem written by Juliusz Słowacki, in similar tone. Not comparison, just saying. Upvote from me.

Thank you, I had a look at some of Juliusz Słowacki's poems, first time I've heard of him, yes I like the short tone used, grabs attention. Thanks again can you post a link to that poem.

Let me find an English translation of it.
