    To the Sea Angel

    Riptide waves,
    there goes the sea angel,
    right above the waves.

    These mystery years,
    where would I be without them?
    What if I'd stayed happy?

    Years lost,
    these last few I've played catch up,
    drifting from the shore.

    Barnacles on an olive shell,
    brain choral in my mind.

    Instrumental tune,
    made by the incoming waves.

    I tossed a starfish back in,
    watched it twirl away,
    and thought of you.

    -Will Dockery (1997)




    Is that photo of you and Stinky G?

    Funny, I'd always assumed your "sea angel" was a girl.

    She is but I didn't want to post a photograph of her here at this time.

    No, I just looked (I wasn't posting from JLA Forums earlier) that's not Zod.

    I used that photograph because it was a good shot of a cove near the Gulf of Mexico.

    I probably don't have a photograph of the "Sea Angel," at least not scanned and ready to post.

    MMP: Is that photo of you and Stinky G?



    DONKEY: Yes, that's Zod, we're walking on the railroad tracks near the hobo camp.

    MMP: No... that's a different picture. In this one, you're standing on the beach together.


    MMP: Funny, I'd always assumed your "sea angel" was a girl.



    DONKEY: She is but I didn't want to post a photograph of her here at this time.





    MMP:

    Beside the sea with Stinky G
    You walked upon the sand,
    When Stinky G pulled out his wee
    And you took it in hand.
    You pulled and pushed, twisted and twirled
    Beneath the summer sun
    You yanked and wanked till Stinky hurled
    His spume -- what summer fun!
    Barnacles on an olive shell
    Brain choral in your mind,
    Stink's dinky got sunburnt as hell
    While wayward seagulls dined
    On spattered globs of Stinky spunk
    That glistened on the shore,
    You placed his junk back in his trunks
    While Stinky begged for more.
    Alas those summer days are gone
    And Stinky G is dead,
    But halcyon memories linger on
    Like herpes sores. Your bed
    Where you and Stinky once found bliss
    Is rotting in your shed
    You sing of a lost summer kiss
    While Jordy gives you head.

    It may be the same day, but that's definitely a guy in the first photo. He's shirtless and wearing shorts; the girl in this photo has a t-shirt and jeans.

    No... I'm just wondering why you chose that photograph to illustrate your poem.

    Usually one chooses a photograph that illustrates the poem. Your photo has the speaker (Will Donkey), and the setting (the beach). It also has a second person in it (who would necessarily be the "sea angel").

    IOW: In the photo (not necessarily in the poem), the shirtless male is "the sea angel."

    Yes, there were several people there that day, you're confusing a poem with a photograph.

    No... I'm just wondering why you chose that photograph to illustrate your poem.

    Mainly for the view of the beach and ocean.

    MMP: Is that photo of you and Zod?



    That's not Zod standing on the beach, by the way.

    I didn't know Zod in 1977.


    Dockery: Yes, that's Zod, we're walking on the railroad tracks near the hobo camp.

    MMP: No... that's a different picture. In this one, you're standing on the beach together.



    There's several different places from that same day that I can post.


    Yes, here's another photograph from that same day in 1977.

    (See JLA Forums attachment below.)

    It may be the same day, but that's definitely a guy in the first photo. He's shirtless and wearing shorts; the girl in this photo has a t-shirt and jeans.



    Yes, there were several people there that day, you're confusing a poem with a photograph.






    No... I'm just wondering why you chose that photograph to illustrate your poem.

    Usually one chooses a photograph that illustrates the poem.



    That's true, the photograph was chosen to show the ocean and beach.

    That's nice, Donkey.

    I was just wondering why you'd chosen the photo that made it appear that your "sea angel" was a man.

    That's a photograph of me and, I think, Paul D. Wilson, from the summer of 1977.

    Dockery: Yes, that's Zod, we're walking on the railroad tracks near the hobo camp.

    I was thinking about a different photograph here ^^^

    MMP: No... that's a different picture. In this one, you're standing on the beach together.

    Since I'm not posting from JLA Forums right now, I didn't remember which photograph was used.

    Yes, here's another photograph from that same day in 1977.

    (See JLA Forums attachment below.)

    It may be the same day, but that's definitely a guy in the first photo. He's shirtless and wearing shorts; the girl in this photo has a t-shirt and jeans.

    One of the girls.

    There were two girls and two guys, one of the guys was me.

    The photograph is simply the best view I captured of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico that afternoon.

    Do I used it for that reason.

    Of course they're definitely not the same people.

    That's nice

    I was just wondering why you'd chosen the photo that made it appear that your "sea angel" was a man.

    I didn't actually do that.

    I simply posted the photograph with the best view of the beach and sea for the main image.

    Is Stinky G. at least your Riverwalk Devil?

    Dockery: She is but I didn't want to post a photograph of her here at this time.

    MMP:

    Beside the sea with Stinky G
    You walked upon the sand,
    When Stinky G pulled out his wee
    And you took it in hand.
    You pulled and pushed, twisted and twirled
    Beneath the summer sun
    You yanked and wanked till Stinky hurled
    His spume -- what summer fun!
    Barnacles on an olive shell
    Brain choral in your mind,
    Stink's dinky got sunburnt as hell
    While wayward seagulls dined
    On spattered globs of Stinky spunk
    That glistened on the shore,
    You placed his junk back in his trunks
    While Stinky begged for more.
    Alas those summer days are gone
    And Stinky G is dead,
    But halcyon memories linger on
    Like herpes sores. Your bed
    Where you and Stinky once found bliss
    Is rotting in your shed
    You sing of a lost summer kiss
    While Jordy gives you head.

    Again, you're so talented with satire and parody you should be writing for Mad Magazine, Harry.
