Re: A Part of Me
Great poem. Seems to be a great song as well, I would like to hear you play and sing it.
I hope you are still writing!

Re: Battery Well Song
I spent a lot of time in that battery well. Fortunately, every movement I made was slow. Thank, God!

KJ Ray,
This is beautiful. Yes, I feel your pain. I got flashbacks - Been there - Done that. We are definately kindred spirits. I can hardly wait to read the next one. Keep them comming!!

Groton Bound
At the last reunion, a few of us were discussing the sinking of the submarine Scorpion SSN589 in May of 1968. At least two of my August 1967 Sub School classmates were assigned to the Scorpion when we graduated. I only realized it years later as I was looking at the signatures on the back of my clas...

ESCAPE
Escape I’m tired. Let me put these worries away. I’ll face them another day. It’s time I retired. Loneliness, It drips from the overhead And follows me to bed. It clutters my mind And swallows thoughts of happiness. Pressure Is all around me, Pressing in from the cold, dark sea. Danger stands beside...

Mid-Patrol
Mid-Patrol I think I’ll day-dream a while - Let thoughts drift through my mind. Who knows, perhaps I’ll find Something to make me smile. I’ll let it dwell. Let it soak deep into my brain, Some tender thought that too long has lain Smothered beneath a blanket of hell. Roy Bowen EM2(SS) (1967 - 1971) ...

SUBMARINE
(8-20-2013). I changed the name of post to same as name of the poem - RMB. (update comment 6/30/2013) At the end of our 2013 reunion last night, Fred asked for some shipmates to share a few sea stories. If the 627 could have stood before us last night, I believe this would be the poem she would shar...

Sub Class 388
Hey, Gill !! Apparently I followed you to Sub School, then to the 627. What was the date of your first patrol? Mine was April '68. I took some leave then was in "transient" for a month or two. I have the names and boat assignments of most of the class written on the back on my Sub School p...
