Best Dinghies Poems

Let me 'neath fleecy clouds be. For spring is here.
God's creation all for me. For spring is here.

So many glorious gardens to admire,
Clematis attracts a bee. For spring is here.

Aubrietia produced in profusion,
Scented Daphne in valley. For spring is here.

Up in the mountains, veiled with...

 Wales to me is a floating melody of soothing hums, 
  when sea breeze to tranquil shores comes,
   sprinkling buried golden hues, 
    over swaying grassland in recluse.

       Lulling little kids to...

Overarching Genocide

Noah built the wooden Ark in his homeland instructed by God
to save his wife three sons and their wives from drowning a life 
raft rescue boat of sorts with three decks and only one door and
two of each kind of animal species for rebuilding...

While slowly walking through this lovely park
     on Sunday at noon,
          a warm day in June;
I hear the trillings of a meadowlark;
     his song crisp and clean;

Tim’s father had been a refugee once he put down his fight and his gun

The story is that he embarked on the very last ship leaving East Prussia

Under siege tanks and bombs from above fireworks of madness and defeat

A wounded soldier which is what gave...

The affluent holidaymakers cover the sand
Laid out in rows like one giant band

Sun hats and glasses protect pale skins
Under sun brollies as the new day begins

Calling out for ices, doughnuts and snacks
Lying on sun beds with lotion on backs

New hats and costumes that never get...

The Sandless Sand Castle

Let me tell you about my eldest brother.

I am: the "Scram!", the "Beat it!", the "What you looking at?!", and the "Turn around and watch the movie!", younger brother. As you can see, he has, a lot of phrases he says to...

piteous cries of children's babies
on flimsy dinghies, colour of daisies
delivered to shores of unknown place
discrimination among men and ladies
wrong reaction about colour and race,

looking back at bloodstained horizon
painful thoughts, horrors at conception 
even at the threshold of new beginnings 
though not knowing of their reception
being...

The Liberal Scandinavia 
   
 Rich Exiles do not take rubber dinghies
Across the sea, but take the plane
And they are welcomed as 
Assets of note
Once upon a time, the Jews had their
Valuables stolen when they try to escape
Now refugees get their assets
Confiscated in...

emotions sailing in choppy waters
onward to isles of seclusion
passion dinghies released 
seeking anchors of expression
securely beached
exploring wisdom shores

SWANSONG

England expects Britannia to rule the waves,
From the white cliffs of Dover
To where the Sun never sets.

We’ll keep the Union Jack flying
Over this sceptred isle,
Set in a silver sea, 
As a beacon of light
To ward off continental types
And other undesirables,
Especially if they come across in...

The feud in our families vetoes our bond
We’re stood back to back for fear we’d abscond
They force you to walk, keep moving, don't stop
At gunpoint I’m ordered to walk ’til I drop
So each step we take is two further apart
But nothing will crush the intent...

Summer’s gone, though still keeps going
Dried are the rains of May
Weatherbeaten dinghies bobbing
In the shallows of the bay
Moored forever to the pier
Tinkle their rusty chains 
Seagulls crying on the veer
Flying over foamy waves 
Ships are sailing on the ocean
But they’re out of sight 
Waves are...

On the bay the wind is scurrying
along its flock of waves,
with white crests honey combed, 
to flip over their edges,
on blue foreheads.

The bow of the yacht slices 
through the waves driven by the wind
in the sails, rattling the rigging, 
heeling the boat over,
relenting to force...
