Great job, Lyle. In the spirit of your poem, I'd like to pose this question:
Has anybody ever had a supernatural experience on the Great Lakes?
Ross Richardson
: Phantom Ships that Pass in the Night
: shimmering ripplles on the lakes below
: the full moon's eerie silver glow
: in the stillness of the summers night
: reveal weird shadows in translucent light
: strange forms take shape tall masts and spars
: like fairy wands, touch the twinkling stars
: then through the magic of mind and sight
: we see the phantom ships that pass in the night
: unfolding the mysteries of long, long ago
: lost vessels and crews lying deep down below
: return as ghosts and sail on once more
: toward that beacon light on the distant shore
: the master of all ships is now in command
: the course is charted to that promised land
: not a sound breaks the silence in the pale moonlight
: on those phantom ships that pass in the night
: by- poet & great lakes buff
