DAY thReE

Today's challenge is to write a Shanty poem...a rhyming poem, sung by sailors as they work on a ship.

The ship does not sail

or float on the sea

The life I live here under

Locked in it's place

determined to be

The life I live here under

Simply the same

day after day

The life I live here under

Afraid to go it is

easy to stay 

In the life I live here under

The earth and the soil

under my feet

The life I live here under

A land lover's life 

is better for me

The life I live here under!
