Your pleasure cruise
make sure there
are enough
#lifeboats on the sides
just in case
there are storms
or icebergs

#vssdaily #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

The crushing grip
of your hand
on my arm
that desperate
look in your eyes
as the ship went down
and the freezing
water crept in
with nobody
to man the lifeboats
there was no getting away

#vssdaily #poetry #lifeboats

The problem with lifeboats is that they’re temporary. You climb in because the water below is all hunger jagged mouths of waves snapping at the wreckage. A narrow little promise that says stay still and you won’t sink. The sea keeps circling, rows of white foam like grinning jaws. Because the truth is it was never meant to travel. Just to hover without direction surviving. And that’s the quiet danger of it: a lifeboat can keep you alive for a very long time in a sea of teeth but it is not escape.

The problem with lifeboats
is that they’re temporary.
You climb in
because the water below
is all hunger
jagged mouths of waves
snapping at the wreckage.

There are beached fishing boats with polka dot flags and a sailing yacht at sea with red polka dot sail Lobster pots line the harbour wall on the left, with a harbour ladder reaching the sand below.

I just heard on BBC News @bbcnews-uk-rss.bsky.social that ⅓ of us still buy physical calendars (Germany buys most, then UK, then France). I'm one of them, and chose this #RNLI one for 2026: #Lifeboats #art #artist
