Georgiansilver-

John Masefield? For sure, and here's a link to his page on Oldpoetry where I've been posting some of his poems: Click here for website!

I've set his poem "Hell's Pavement" to music as well. Stan Hugill used that poem to preface his book SAILORTOWN. I've also set "Pier-Head Chorus" and "A Ballad of John Silver" to music.

John Masefield should certainly be considered a "sailor-poet" but he's much better known than the three I'm featuring in this thread.

Joy-

Thanks for the encouragement!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
