Cars Go

This is very cool, I liked how there were different stories in this poem.

Thanks, Beth. 'Cargoes' by John Masefield is a brilliant, memorable poem. I was trying to capture similar rhythms in this jeu d'esprit.

I want more stories...more stanzas. I'm greedy.
So I looked up John Masefield and found this. I hope you don't mind me quoting the poem as it clearly explains your apology.
Thanks for your lovely poem. I especially felt for the banker...is that personification?
Thanks for your pointing me to John Masefield as well. He is certainly one to inspire great work!

Cargoes

QUINQUIREME of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amythysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.

Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

Thanks Jan. I suppose it could be personification! Bankers have proved themselves to be greedy, environmentally toxic and not fit for purpose.
Yes, I wanted to write more, but as Masefield confined himself to three stanzas, I did, too. Actually, I can hardly contain myself. Where's that pencil?
Probably 'Sea Fever' is Masefield's best loved poem.

I'll check it out.

Oh my gosh, of course! Everyone must know that one!

Harry Potter, yeah!!
Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting

Nice one, and Harry Potter too.

Ride on, baby! I like it! Love the groove, but tell me if you really meant for this to be published in Mindful Poetry, the group that for poetry in form?
