Russian Trawlers (1971)
This poem was published by Ronald Hope as a prizewinning poem in the annual ‘College of the Sea’ magazine in 1972.
Russian Trawlers (1971).
One fine day in the South Atlantic
We sighted them,
Bows sharply raked,
Proceeding south,
Following each other
At the same speed,
At exact distances apart.
A pack of lean grey wolves,
Hungry,
Far from home,
Searching that calm sunlit sea
With a precision
As merciless and cold
As the Siberian winter.
