New Poem by Me

At Moonbeam Beach

I saw the dead of my family
beckon to me. They appeared
upon a grey-hued ocean shore,
drifting on the tide, robed in rags,
hunched within a wooden row-boat.
They called to me, encouraged me
to be one of them before the
ebb tide carried them away. Falling
under their spell, I felt compelled
to be among them, in that cold drear.
They drew near, floating on the last
breath of the flood-tide. One
reached out for me, talons twisted and
thin. Repelled, I drew back, and threw
my weakened body to the dampened sand.
The claw-like hand sought me, scuttled
crabwise toward my body. As it scratched
the surface of my skin, I heard the
dead of my family shriek, a leak of
anguish, as the tide changed, and they
ebbed away. Safe, I hastened from the
misty beach, and found asylum in the
arms of a mountain stream.

Seriously though, I have no taste for poetry whatsoever.
Can't fucking stand it in any shape or form. I am fond of
literature so I appreciate the tone and vocabulary of your
shit, as well as the obvious message in there. But I - can't
- stand - poetry!

:P hehe - it's based on an old superstition... don't bury
the dead when the tide is ebbing or their souls will be
transported to foreign lands. :D
