Moby Dick
This poem is one I did for a school assignment as a project on a book I read. I ran out of time and couldnt finish the book, but I got an A+ on this poem anyways.
The creak and groan of the quiet ship
Holds the soul in an icy grip.
The lanterns swing through the darkness deep,
As seasoned sailors snore and sleep.
The icy breath of the sea moans by
And the watch shivers, for death is nigh.
The sea washes the ship to and fro,
The wind picks up, the watch calls below,
“Captain! There seems to be a storm coming up!”
And the hollow sound of his step answers the pup.
With one leg missing, Captain Ahab still sails,
His mind set on a single White Whale.
As his orders ring through the night,
His thoughts secretly doom the whale that is white.
