I’m with you here. To borrow a phrase from a guy named Nat Stone: No better place to be than on the water. Or near it, for that matter. And for whatever it’s worth, I think your poem is far better than McKuen’s.

Thank you. 🙏🏻 I still love McKuen’s more, but I am glad to know you think highly of my poem. I will look up the context of Nat Stone’s words.

I Love The Sea reminds me of this dirge by Justin Currie…

Thank you, Jenn. 🤍 Yes, the McKuen words are quite beautiful. I was so glad to have found that book of his poetry. I wasn’t familiar with his poetry prior. Kind of a happy accident to discover it.
