Best Admiralty Poems

The noose is a nightmare for any seafaring man
Especially those who thrive the best they can

Danger lurks on the waves like a mugger in the shadows
The only concern is the prize and the gallows

For the young pressed into service have two labors
Cabin boy or powder...

Untimely death, why come so near
To taunt my soul with mortal fear.
I cannot go – so unprepared
So full of life and yet so scared.
The world’s held nothing for me but strife
And yet, O god, I cling to life.
A fatherless boy in a Gorbals slum
Who owes...

Henry Morgan is my name
Being a pirate is my fame

A landlubber wasn't for me
Fortunes were made at sea

From port and starboard cannons roar
Through Spanish ships cannonballs tore

Strike your colors or face our scorn
Cutlass and pikes will make you regret being born

Merchant ships we looted, plundered...

More than twelve hundred souls
Meet their watery grave.
German U-boat patrols
Spark a fatal shockwave.

This echo of the past
Resounds throughout history.
Rousing war unsurpassed,
Deadly shroud of mystery.

The empire aids Cunard,
Loaning millions in pounds.
Lord Inverclyde toils hard
On deceptions unsound.

They hide admiralty
Within their merchant fleet,
And in reality
War barons plot deceit.

Famed...

Im happy as long as im free

im not on a boat
my thoughts make me float
this continent isnt a sea...

Who fought Alone

Untimely death, why come so near
To taunt my soul with mortal fear.
I cannot go  - so unprepared
So full of life and yet so scared.
The world’s held nothing for me but strife
And yet, O lord, I cling to life.
A fatherless boy in a...

In you the Dogs of War unleashed again
  an Expeditionary Force by sea,
and in the ground in years fourscore and ten
  lie bones of Empire and Admiralty.
How in muddy trench riflemen joining
  charged the lines on Ottoman ancient land,
and loud shellfire through...

The birches and the lindens –

in hair have fire.

On the road is noise –

The white horse runs. 

Autumn, as a sorrow,

has spread everywhere.

Where, from whom

do you hasten,

my Prince with the gray eyes? 

Night has lowered its black velvet downwards,

Month ate stars –

And has bitten own...

Wriggled in her arms.
Lost in an adventure of romance, moving far afield.
Though I have no weakness for writing, 
my story got underway.
Wallowing in the admiralty of her beauty
Adorned with beautiful antique ornament
Adulterated with the laudable attribute of nature
Epitomizing the 6th day work,
and the adroit molding...

Those illegal acts
are sort against each other
who was right brother

Carrying ammo
playing outside of the rules
the Brits more fool them

No flags were flying
her identity disguised
wise decision, not

She went down quickly
just eighteen minutes in all
as near 1,200 lives now gone

A ship downed so soon
did 173 tons of...

A touching sip
Glimpses now grip
A Woodlands trip


Old times come round
Feel the same grounds
Old touch new found


A train ride tells
Styles a fond spell
Just where you dwell


A new blank page
Ideas now stage
A lovely age


Studio suite arts
A brand new start
To lift your heart


Words tell we care
Squeeze cheer that...

Floating, adrift in icy water; like discarded driftwood
(his Commander, Warrand, bravely stepped aside to let him pass)
the sole survivor so thought Ted; of the proud and mighty Hood.
Then came Bill, and Bob, three, from one thousand four hundred eighteen
ripped and torn apart from Admirals to...

The Waters
'Waters!' said I, 'thing of neap tide.'
To warn me about the marine
I crave the aquatic, Atlantic admiralty
Death shall bring reefs
Aboard seaborne ships
Waters, Lakes, Seas
All moisten around me
'Waters!' said I, 'thing of neap tide.'
To warn me about the marine
The accommodating arapaima arousing
Eagerly I looked ...

They don’t part with loyalty:
Members of The Royalty:
Raiders grabbing a booty:
Just judge it your First Duty…

Big fault of The Royalty;
You can’t dodge its penalty:
Of unpleasantness fruity,
The chimney-black and sooty…

For true shows of loyalty 
They must head Admiralty,
Their seats nicely Velvety;
Your Football Match Novelty…

All escapes from...
