A Poem from Afar

I know that it is very difficult to send me comments and most of them are of a personal nature and are usually sent to my e mail.
The following poem was intended for me and for me to put it on the blog. So here it is and it is a comment and response to the many poems I have posted.
I must confess I rather like it.

You have set sail so many times in this boat of words
Motoring out from the harbour wall in the clear evening
Passing the home-going crabber chugging over the slight swell
With your wake trailing like long fishing line back to the shore.

Somewhere between the sandbanks and the open sea
Still you set your hooks for the mottled dark sea fish
Flicking them out and high into the late sunlight triumphantly
While the words reel out like flags to the watchers on the shore.
