  • What a beautiful poem! I love John Masefield, he is a brilliant poet.

  • Must down no go

    read the poem

  • You poor baby! We non-Dramamine types can be brutally humorous in said situation. On behalf of all of us, I'd like to apologize... and make your lunch. Headcheese and squid on rye, sound good? ; )

  • Served with a cup of hot Crisco oil! Yum!

  • :))

  • Thank you for adding this personal favorite, Larry! Nothing is more peaceful to me than the open sea. Bit of a tar, are you? ;))

  • I love the ocean, but if I go deep sea fishing it's a crap shoot whether I'll get sick or not! I love it when the boat's underway, with the wind in my face. But when we stop and the swells come up, sometimes my last meal does, too. Of course that's just extra chum for the fish! ;^>

  • Ha! I used to cook on long-range sportfishing boats. We loved guys like you! They're real quiet and their green color always brought us luck! ;P

  • I don't think I looked quite like a martian. But one friend thought it was pretty funny. He had a cast iron stomach, and was born with sea legs, I guess. He said things like, "how about I fix you up with a nice peanut butter and lard sandwich?" After which I started looking for Raaaaaaaaalph over the side.

  • A fine reading of my favorite poem. I have a collection of Masefield's poems and it is very satisfying to pull it off my library shelf and getre-acquainted with his colorful verse. His poems beautifully capture the era of big sailing ships.

  • I'm so glad you read this!

    I love this poem

    and your voice suits it really well.

  • Great voice, great verse ... a wonderful combination!

  • Beautiful read largo, i love to listen to your stuff nice and relaxing

  • Thanks, Burt. Your videos are not relaxing, but funny as hell!

  • Wonderful read. I used to go to the beach everyday when I lived in Key West. I especially loved catching either the sunrise or sunset. The sounds and visions of the grandeur of the ocean and its surroundings can become addictive and satisfying.

  • Thanks for reading this. For some reason, YouTube is not telling me when you post new videos. I will just have to keep coming back to see what your up to. I listened to the sung version as well...your voice was amazing!

  • Thanks, Dale. I'm only sad that the singing voice is pretty much gone now.

  • Perhaps but still you have a fine set of pipes for reading. AND, if I may so without sounding too proud, you have a great ear for the writing of others. :-)

  • Thank you!

  • Always liked that one. Recited with feeling, I might add.

  • Awesome poem.

  • This is a beautiful poem, and I love your voice, too. Keep posting poems, please.

  • wow, you should read for books on cd

  • That was nice! :], Alot of my subscriptions have been doing readings lately and im loving it!! :D

  • That was lovely! :)

  • Larry, thanks for this. I think I have Mariner's blood in me. Either that or it's just this Pastafarian patch I wear. lol Cool reading. Thanks for the comment on my son's vid.

  • A great reading worthy of that great work.

  • Thank you.

  • It doesn't seem like alot to ask for:)

  • You should think about doing readings for a living. We have a theatre close to where I live where people do just that. It is called the Jonesborough Storey Telling Centre.

  • That's very kind of you. I do enjoy reading aloud. I may just see what's available in these parts.
