Kevin, thanks for guiding me here . My name is Robert Austin Meacham and I love to write. Poetry and fiction are my genres, though I am certain I will delve into other works. Thought I would try this site for a few postings and hopefully get good feedback on posts. best regards from the Hill Country of Texas Robert

Looking Nore catching land's vest The Captain yells, “Stations men!” Abruptly the scurry commences Home is in sight though little she lay.
Tide's fight and swallowing swells Upon the freighter rang Captain’s bell To summon all strength to and fro Steering to home, onward go.
Relentless waves slashing at bow Tugging to tear the direction into Violently tossing matchstick men Bruising and cutting every brow.
Belching thunder roars in cadence with crashing lightening hurling downward. Rain beats the weary faces and bleeds the eyes of tired bodied men.
Onward, steady, hold firm the path Persistent victory over ocean's wrath. Awaiting men are hearts left ashore, Pining for their return just as afore.
Morning bird aloft on tireless wings Escorts to port a welcoming ring Ahoy there land of our dreams we've been gone forever it seems.
Sample of my work
