Best Adventurewater Poems
The draw of the tide...
tugs away inside...
remembered rekindled emotion...
lived on the water ...
remember i ought...
Portugese, on the ocean..
cabin boy ..
on a 3 masted schooner...
we lived on salted pork...
the maggots they walked...
red meat went rotten the sooner..
In Timor it's said ..
we'd get fresh bread...
more chillies, beer by the jug..
first mate was casting the lead..
fathoms testing...
as into the harbour we lugged...
sailing round the Cape Horn ..
suicide borne..
over the side water torn..
ironic the twist
sinking forlorn....
no one there to mourn
drowning there did I exist... :)
where i went onetime....Don Johnson 17-may-11
Bunyip
Old Bunyip lurked in the billabong
He had a calf like face
Had the body of a seal
strong magic in this place
Native fishermen caught small Bunyip
One thought to carry it home
Dream time legend says
Mother came riding a wall of water
So baby wouldn’t be alone
Now water swirled round his feet
He looked at the girl beside him
Saw a black bird so sweet
Black swans the tribe abide in
Stay away from the billabong……..Aboriginal waterhole
Bad magic there resides
Don’t be a foolish plurry nong
Black swans there be your guide
DRINKING WATER ON HELVELLYN
Martin’s idea to go up Helvellyn
Sounded like hard work to me
Lots of rock-scrambling and ridges windy
Lots of feet sore and toes swellin’
Someplace near the top was a spring
We filled our water bottle from it.
When we got to the summit
We guzzled the water, sweating.
Then, in the sun and slaked we lay,
Finest taste I ever had in throat -
Truest word I ever wrote -
Before or since that day.
Note:
Helvellyn is one of the mountains in the English Lake District, about 3 100 feet high.
WATER WITH A FISH THAT CANT SWIM?HOW IS THAT? HOW WILL THAT FISH MAKE IT
WHEN IT SEEMS THE WATER GETS DEEPER?..
EVEN THOUGH THE FISH ISN'T LIKE THE REST..IS IT STILL A KEEPER?
CAN YOU TEACH THIS FISH THINGS THAT IT WILL CARRY FOR THE DURATION OF THIS
LIFETIME?
DOES THE DEEP WATER FORCE THE FISH TO BE SOLO, MOST TIME?
OR DOES IT DISCOURAGE?
DO THE DEEP WATER GIVE COURAGE?
I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS IT MAY SEEM, BUT THEY ARE ALL LOGICAL!
TO STEP OUT ON FAITH,YOU ARE TESTING HOW MUCH DEEPER YOU CAN GO WITH OUT
DROWNING..
HOW CAN YOU MOVE THOUGH LIFE WITH OUT FROWNING?
OPEN YOUR GILLS.EXPLORE THE SEA..ITS SO MUCH TO BE...SO MUCH TO
SEE...
STAYING STRONG IS KEY!!!
YOU WONDERING WHO THE FISH IS.....
WELL I AM SHE.
