Best Drop Anchor Poems

I'd love to buy a boat and sail the seas
Just loaf and let the string of life unwind
Drop anchor anytime or place I please
To visit every island I can find

I'd sail from cape to cape, from gulf to strait
Each bay and channel up and down...

I am the hope inside
 That feeds on tide and wind
 As ocean shores abide
 A storm's subsiding din 

 I am the joy that died
 Before the world took wing
 Where cold and dark things hide
 Beneath a cheerful grin

 I am the vacant...

I troll downstream; drop anchor and wait
To seize the day with just the right bait
I feel my first hit, a pulse one can’t see
Though anxious, I wait patiently 
For opportunity to bite and run
In the struggle, break free and
Reach for the sun

Feeling alive with vision...

this epistle per mine choice of heir apparent presidential throne
composed from one liberal minded non-conformist rolling stone  

prompted awareness that one voice can affect which contestant will win
and occupy the white house after the votes get tallied from political spin

Yo-Ho-Ho And Shiver Me Timbers

Shiver me timbers and loosen me limbers
I sail me sloop until it lin’ers
And drop anchor in t’  nearest lagoon
Bury me treasure chest full o’ doubloons 
Then set off durin  t’ next full moon

The channel islands off the coast
of California were my home
on weekends sailing with my dad
on glassy seas, on froth and foam.

On Fridays after work he’d head
to Catalina on the wind.
Sometimes, the trips were fast and rough;
sometimes, you thought they’d never end.

I’d go below when it...

We've sought our sextant, fair and free,
          Thus bound with dreams, this starlit sea -

Well and I know these lakes like
The back of my hand
I used to like to be on the open
Waters alone the serenity made me
Feel strong but now after meeting
You I am a new man and now I'd
Like nothing better than if you came
Along and...
Sail Away...

from the sandy bottom
up periscopes 
from depths,
hidden in the sea 
of thoughts,
through an ocean 
of memories

scanning the distant horizon,
in vision 
my rising sun
as my waters swell
a saviour,
my soul motions

drifting a wave,
dreaming 
beautiful sunshine
drop anchor,
paradise with palm trees,

the ocean calls
touching beautiful colour
handing out 
mother pearl,
this treasure...

(after Alphonse de Lamartine)

Thus, ever driven onward to new shores, borne constantly away, 
Can we never, in the Ocean of the Ages, drop anchor for a day? 

Oh, this beautiful lake! The year has hardly flown, 
yet here am I, beside these so-beloved waves of...

I bought an RV , that's where I'm living these days..
Living and learning all the RVing ways.
When I awoke this morning it was raining 'round here.
But my RV wasn't leaking and that filled me with cheer.
Last night I fixed the fridge and I filled it...

What better place than here
to be 

To stop drop anchor and rest aboard
my floating throne and dotted
upon by endless servants
feeding me grapes of wrath

And take in all of this ethereal world's
majesty I am seemingly deemed to own

And If only for a little while 

Breathe in...

The world is always in balance
Harmony is created again and again
Disguised in the madness 
Tucked under this sadness
Peeling at the corners, twirling mad with the wind
The things that are
And the way things are not
Defy all the control and continuous plot
The maze aint the same as...
