Best Onto Land Poems

Coco the clown went sailing one day 
to a holiday destination far far away

Suddenly, the sky went dark and the wind did blow
and the waves beneath his boat did grow and grow

Coco lost his oars as the winds blew and blew 
and he paddled his...

The palm tree bends in the wind at the sea
with smooth, beautiful, flexibility
A splash of salt water hits the sand
Rolling with sea shells onto land

Surprises to find in a special search
beneath wooden posts where seagulls perch
Watching what gems will be found left behind
By the moving...

The wind howls, breaking branches all about with cracks
Roaring like a racing train down the long metal tracks.
The wind blows lightly gliding a paper boat floating by
So quickly noticed, then gone with the blink of an eye.
The wind whistles in the grass, blowing the drifting...

The inhabitants of Quintar V
Were in many ways like Man
They evolved from legless blobs
And from the unkind sea
Ventured onto land.

Their technology advanced
In only a few thousand years.
Hyperspace was soon available.
So the greater minds left to search the stars.

For many light years they travelled.
Through universes and...

OUTSIDE-IN---INSIDE OUT! ©   TANKA

Very green flushed carpets
Sky blue azure topped ceilings
Tree branched sofa chairs
Mirror sea rippling four walls 
Windows and doors shut!


REBIRTH!  © TANKA

Infant birthing new 
Into mankind-likened modes
Start fresh from homed sights
Cultured to suckle blind

Pink cotton candy striated clouds
Intermingle with blue
Lure the artist to observe painting
Upon a canvas true

Distant doves sing a summer song
Happy to raise a large brood
Soon they'll be independent
Seeking out their own food 

Life goes in circles, birds nesting
In places they were born
Some families never leaving
Hold...

You two are the sailor and the sea
Bringing about all good things to be

Content and calm like when the sea is blue
With a clear sky to show what love can do

Sailors don't fight the waves or tide
They embody curves of the sea, along for the...

Rain dives down onto land
Grass oceans and even sand
Gently falls upon my hand
My reflection in the raindrop
Who is this I see
Tiny little drops of rain
Created high up in the sky
In the clouds is where it lies
Cleanses planet earth 
Soon after its birth
Washes away evil and...

Rain
Gentle rain.
Softly falling,
Playfully splashing,
Tumbling down.
Raindrops racing
Down a window pane.
Pitter patter.
Pitter patter.
Pitter patter.
Cool.
Clear.
Refreshing,
Replenishing.
Quenching the earth’s thirst,
Filling her rivers and reservoirs,
Making green again her pleasant land.


Rain.
Cruel rain.
Lash-ing
With it’s 
FURY.
Thrashing.
Crashing.
Pouring,
Pouring,
Pouring.
Forcing
Down
Earth’s
Throat.
Choking,
Till her rivers
Spew out onto land
In floods
Of
CHAOS
DEVASTATION
And
DEATH....

IF ever I had a country: XI - XII

IF ever I had a country
And if ever I were but the Admiral of the Fleet
I'd issue an edict to keep ships out of foreign waters
I'd order all on deck on or off duty curse-under-breath sailors
To fish...

The wave are turning and I want 
To pull you from the tide, 
You go under, yet you use
The blue-black water to hide.

What are you hiding from? 
There's nothing to fear in this world.
Don't you want to curl up with me,
In love, tangled and furled?
Don't...

It is land of seas but was born in fire
The fire
Is what creation of our planet would inspire
Only when it cooled it put on more familiar attire

Than it was world of sea
With strange creatures in that sea
For next one hundred and forty million years only...

My word arose in Jonah's ear
To Nineveh say, "The judgment’s near;
Now harken unto My decree,
For your wicked ways have come to Me."

But from My presence Jonah fled
Down to Joppa so he sped
To Tarshish he bought a fare
In a ship to take him there.

The ship was...

Our blue planet, the epitome of primal beauty,
a unique dot of singularity in celestial infinity,
revolved in astral space spinning nature’s splendors,
until on evolution trail hostile species of man arrived.

The creeping swarm of greed called progress
devours the green blanket thriving for ages,
constructs the toxic greenhouse on...

Freedom Ship

There is a ship floating in the harbor
It has a long history behind it
Hauling hundreds of starving people
Men, women and children
Loaded in the ship’s belly
Fleeing from torture and death
They cried and mourned for those left behind
Thinking about how their loved ones must live
But this...
