A ship waits for me anchored to the moon.
The breeze impatiently tugs at the sails.
Waves sweep into shore and out to sea.
Whales of Jupiter implore my name.
I’ll glide on cosmic clouds
and across immense galaxies.
There are planets to explore
far away and perilous.
In the darkness, I shall travel
stealthily, so as not to awaken Erebus.
*Whales of Jupiter is a joke pertaining to Jupiter’s moon, Ganymede which scientists say contains a salty ocean with more water than Earth.
*Erebus is the Greek god of darkness

Interesting Image and poem! Did you record yourself reciting the poem? Or was it recited by someone else? Either way — nice job! The audio added an unexpected and intriguing dimension.

Thanks! I recited the poem myself, but I took it off, cuz I found it annoying. Yes, isn’t that amazing about the water in Jupiter?!

Did you take it off a few minutes ago? Because I was still able to listen to the audio about 20 minutes ago. Well…poetry is supposed to be recited, right? So it wasn’t a bad idea. I don’t think the audio took anything away from the written expression, but I understand your decision.

You’re right about poems being recited, and a couple of girlfriends said that I was being a dork, so I re-inserted the audio. Thanks Fly. 🙂 xo

Sometimes I read a poem and copy and paste words I don’t understand to look them up later (I do this a lot with your poetry which I enjoy, because I always learn new things). I also hope others learn new things from my writing, as well. I appreciate your visits and comments!

Lmao! You’d think, wouldn’t you? 👻 I probably won’t include audio regularly, because it took me months just to convince myself to do this. Thanks Og, your feedback is important to me. xo

I do, too. It’s fun, and I’m surprised more poets and writers don’t add audio. I won’t be adding audio to every poem but occasionally, I may. Thank you for your input; it was invaluable to me. 🌞

I loved this poem, Rose, and I really loved your reading of it. I’m so glad you didn’t remove the audio as you threatened to do above. That would have been terribly sad because you have such a beautiful speaking voice. Without your audio, the only way to have heard your poem aloud would have been for me to read it myself. Believe me, that would not have enhanced the experience. (Imagine your poem being read by one of the Muppets.)

I sound like Kermit the Frog when I’m in serious mode (e.g. talking to my kids) and Fozzie Bear when I’m telling a joke (with much the same audience reaction).
