Albatross Poems | Examples

Albatross Nigel approaching U S'

Beware of the albatross, under radar he flies.' If he gets
To a neck hold? I say' kiss your 'foi gras' goodbye.! 
Forget about co-ahesion, play it cool with your hand.'
Now you're clear of the wilderness, keep  your counsel
Private, stay ever oh so slightly un-planned.'

Albatross Shore

Breath the brine in waves and wind
Sheer trips that vigil and vile
Brave who conquer and will
Break the wave thousand times.
They wish to steel in steady
They command snake to crawl
Heave the spirit in obscure decend
Pave the gold in gaudy shine.
Hail the ignite that spark unshiver
The grass they seed when arid arise
Kiss the land with motherly lips
Give the smile with benevolent divine.
Gaily sun that welcomes all woe
Raise the flag amid raging foe
Frown death within tyrrant brows
Dare to die in soldiers chime.
The unbent peers let not shiver
Words of viking one victor and valor
Endless voyage to settle ahead
Albatross shore the celestial paradise.

Albatross Feather in Jeopardy

                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another atrocity: letting stone or lime tears slick.
A majestic sight—an albatross-nurturing chick.
Midway Island, where strings were hung.
Birds covet between land and sea for their young.

They saw a feast, a bounty to witness. 
Human waste of all kinds is not worth swiftness.
A dwarf chick gently waits till his parents return. 
A fragile bird wept, fleeing from an unseen spurn.

Below their skeptical gaze, the chick played. 
His parents, as warden angels, never strayed.
They opened their mouths and started to eat.
In agony, they wept, shaking as if life retreat.

Longing for a life, the birds once yearned. 
They began to sing their hymn of peril termed.
Survivors are clueless that men spread lethal flu.
With a split heart, I stand in shame, void, and blue.

Sans doubt, man is a fool—no care nor claim. 
A tender poise between empathy and blame.
Whoever enacts a crime will bear the shame. 
Is it too late for any of us who are aware to tame?

The Death of the Albatross

Today I witnessed another crime, that brings tears to granite or lime. I saw the albatross feeding their young, on midway island from what they had strung.

The birds had picked from land and sea, whatever food, their eyes could see. Among their pick was human trash, of every kind, not worth the cash.

The young chicks silently waited, their parents return anticipated. The chicks cried, as they ran out from cover, when their parents above them began to hover.

They opened their mouths, and began to feed, for every bit to death it leads. They closed their eyes, and cried in pain, their bodies shook, as if they were slain.

The birds that once for life had longed, began to sing, their death song. The ones that live, don’t have a clue, that man had spread his deadly flu.

My heart is broke, as I stand in shame, without my honour, respect nor claim. There is no doubt that man is a fool, sometimes compassionate, and sometimes so cruel.

For every crime who is to blame, it’s always man, who would bare the shame. For those of us, that are now aware, is it too late, for us to care?

Song of The Albatross No 13: AABB

Edge what remains their last hope, be enshrined,
be the breeding atolls summoned to mind.
Albatross are one of the bird's largest.
These goliath's wingspans are the longest,
which makes them less of a landlubber when
they take more to the sea and less to land
other than breeding and nesting. They may
fly for more than a year well before they
take to land, which has been limited to
the northern Hawaiian islands, that's due
to its isolation. Their numbers put
them on the endangered list. The output
rests on less interference, to; control
by observation like fish in a bowl.

The Laysan Albatross

We are mislabeled as sea birds and should be called
big birds, like that yellow one but we're not yellow.
We never land on land for a year or longer, and we
been told that we have known God since he was a
little boy. The unfeathered say that for a very long
time we're like many fishes in the sea, but now we
are like whales. The few of us left, live in the north
atolls of Hawaii. There's no other place in the world
except for oceans, seas, bays ... forget what I said.

Birds

seaguls in the sea
   ~low expectatations to reach~
     easy life to live

eagles above clouds
    ~small eyes with a big vision~
                 catch life at first sight

                 Sleeping at daytime
   ~those great strangers in the night~
          owls are heard sometimes

cuckoo bird in spring
           ~its delightful sound to ears
missed with august mist

                  the nightingale sings
 every season, small but huge
               ~he stays forever~

 travellinng always
    ~albatross surfs the blue sky
                coming back to home

              clever hunter hawks
~up from the hights stalking the preys~
 lunch served in the air

ones or the others
  big or small ~the birds' song brings
                         happiness in life

Albatross

A bird with a shadow as big as a bus
Archaic the sailors that in him will trust
Always at sea coming in from the stern
Arrogant seafarers will need to learn
Ancient beliefs all have basis in fact
As may become clear when the odds are well stacked
Adrift on a life raft?.. He’s poultry… that’s that

Albatross

Astounding high fliers
Ace gliders and divers
Artful, very skillful
Amazing large wing spans
Ashore only to breed
Awesome and majestic
A great bird of the sea.

Albatross

A hit tune off 'Rumours'
Artists are Fleetwood Mac
Amazing musicans!
Also a sea bird with
An enormous wing span
Airborne beauty in flight
Alternate name - Gooney

Albatross with deft shape
Aptly walz with wingspan
Across wild oceans soars
Abstract sway and power
As stars beam with delight
Apostle verve and scop
Always burden bearer

Albatross

Accepting the zeitgeist
Adapting to challenges
Avoiding all dangers
Amusing with the mate
Attending the young ones
Aspiring to fly far…
Ah! What an existence!

Albatross

lost in the freedom
     ~up there in the endless sky~
              feathered giant flies

              above the oceans
   ~his large wingspan allows him
                        to dance a long time

                        on an open stage
              ~the elegance takes slowly
an albatross shape

String of Haiku

THE CROW

crows constantly caw
cacophony of sound bites
Impassioned birdlife


THE SEAGULL

seagull invasion
It's every bird for himself
aggression with wings 


THE ALBATROSS

albatross gliding
thermal uplift and bird soars
fine sight to behold.

Prodigal Return of the Wondering Albatross

From far my travels
I've returned 
Turning dust to paving grass roads 

Through all those dark musty alleyways
And clustered-off rocks
Into lush valleys of cobbled mist 

Bringer of light to the trodden grounds
Purveyor of storms in the unspoken seas
Whips and waves I've riden them all
To a freedom of the vast empty


The countless clouds I've traveled with
Though nameless
More familiar to me passerby's
The whistling of passionate winds
Caressing and lulling me into peace 

I am now here
The here that is stationary, 
Lacking purpose, fostering fear
Fearful of stillness 

Reminiscing of the stillness I beheld 
When I was on my way
Traversing through dust 

So there you have it,
I will set off once more
The life of a nomad is a life to live
Nameless to the world 
But shameless in a word
Huff..
   .... huff... 
        ...  huff......
