Can You Write Poetry My Friend Can Read and Vote

Hello,

Today is help thy friend DAY...

Not sure if this will be the best blog but my friend writes poetry and also hold down a 9-5 job, you know how that goes.He writes and I have read some of them and he has not had any published yet but I am encouraging him to do so as they are good for the novice and let all you out there that do not like to write your own articles ,ads, etc. and let you know what he can do.

Any way he has a poem he just did and it is on the url I have given and I would love for anyone to go and read and give a vote,also it may give him that extra push to follow one of his dreams

This is some additional info. I recieved and it makes the poem take a life of it's own.He was a lad of 18 and is now nearing retirement age../

I wrote the poem aboard the SS Bengal mail, an old rusty freighter. I was sailing in the capasity of an Ordinary Seaman deck hand.We had just survived an incounter with Typhoon Alice off the coast ov China. I was 18 years old and sailing on a 9 month jungle run to over 17 countries. I gave a copy of the poem to old captain Benson, and he put it up on his cabin wall. From then on he treated me like his own son, took me under his wing, taught me much about growing up, and I could do no wrong from then on to the end of the sail.

I made a friend on that trip, he was 17 years old, his name is Moses Thatcher. He was sailing in the capisity of a Wiper in the engine department. He is the master Jeweler who now has the shop "Mountain Gold" in Kawaihi Hawaii that I featured on one of my posts on my blog site.

Did I figure out why I was spared?
I can not count the number of times I have been spared from almost certian death.
I have no idea why, I am just trying to go with the flow.
By the way, My oldest boy is named Aslan after the Lyon in CS Lewis Cronicles of Narnia.
I of course read the books, a wonderfull set. I don't know if you go to the movies, but I saw the Lyon,The Whitch And The Wardrobe that came out last year. I thought It was pretty good. The book #2 of the set, Prince Caspions Sea, is to be released this month. I would like to see it.
