Canoe on an Ocean
Inspired by the Twelve Steps competition.
An easy fog, con of eyes, cage of a foe
A sea one seeks, canoe on a fen of ago
Scan a scene of eons; on a sea, one sees
A snag of a fyke’s fangs, none can seek ease
A cay on necks of oceans, nags songs of agony
Aeons sang of Enyo, no coyness, asks of a fee
An ego fakes sane, sky soaks a face of one
Once a fane, safe of any, one can ask of none
No cosy Naos, a sense of foe, a sneaky yank
A canoe on an ocean, so easy as one sank
An easy fog, con of eyes, cage of a foe
A sea one seeks, canoe on a fen of ago
Scan a scene of eons; on a sea, one sees
A snag of a fyke’s fangs, none can seek ease
A cay on necks of oceans, nags songs of agony
Aeons sang of Enyo, no coyness, asks of a fee
An ego fakes sane, sky soaks a face of one
Once a fane, safe of any, one can ask of none
No cosy Naos, a sense of foe, a sneaky yank
A canoe on an ocean, so easy as one sank

Thank ST...was a difficult challenge...I don't typically have to research to write, but I liked it!

This is intriguing, Mel. I need to read the comp rules to understand the challenge; however, this captured my full attention all the way through, as though it held its own unique language I loved listening to.

This one took my awhile..I stuck with the original rules of 10 words,10 lines, using only the 10 letters GCSKOFNEYA. But it had to fit me as well:) Thanks for feedback.

you paint words like a master - this has a melodic feel to it - a poetic opera if you like - again leading to performance slam :-)
I liked this a lot (needs to read at least 3 times) :-)
