Best Poseidon Poems

When sea gods invisibly show their glory
They’re escorted by their elusive sea army;
Vow before them, their loud rhapsodic chords play,
As heard in light of blue waves on summer day.

Marvelous army with mighty spiral swords
Hewed by  sea gods, their magnificence- behold!
Their trimmed trident’s tines conjure...

How sweet the sound of raging sea!
Long has peace reigned so devoted,
But has it thought of wicked treachery? 
Nay, it had never plotted retribution!

Be that as it may,
I, the goddess of the deep,
Utter these very words of incantation
To suppress the fury that curses my veins!

May...

Powerful water-god 
Paradigm of Neptune
Pride of seas and oceans
Protects all seafarers
Placed as lord of horses
Paired to Amphitrite 
Put as god of earthquakes

Cronus would never be defeated, or so he thought.
Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon a lesson taught.
Zeus took the sky, Hades the underworld, Poseidon the sea.
Poseidon became father of floods, hurricanes, storms, all three.

He somehow also grabbed up horses, which seems a stretch.
But this is Greek mythology,...

His beginning was his end, being swallowed by Cronus 
Fortuitously his fortune averted when through Zeus he was saved

With his trusted trident his magnificence reigned 
Amphritite at his side, after Delphinius convinced the nymph majesty

God of the ocean, second to none, his wrath was his...

imagine
what fantastical wonders 
besides the fish
swim in realms of oceans deep
with fantails that swish

when the full moon is glowing 
like a treasure chest of shiny gold doubloons
and starlight brightens the sea
mermaids will be found
smiling as they dance in rhythmic reverie

their giggles create bubbles 
in pearlescent...

A clear morning rose over the copper-tinged rocks,
the serene sky stayed the same after down; 
but the lighthouse did not trust that calmness,
then a horrendous rumbling made it suddenly frown.

A apocalyptic event was to occur in minutes,
Poseidon rode his horses to impinge horror,
making the foaming...

My friends all dead, Poseidon's gaze falls last
Upon me, broken, clinging to a raft,
He low’rs his fist, and shatters present, past
And future… now a yards-long broken shaft
Is all I have to save me from the sea,
I choke and spit, and swim for shore -- ‘tis...

Do you ever allow your poetry to fall gently into the categories of what would be? 
Your own librarian.
 Sequestered into the silences of your mind. 
Envelopment of screams.  
Someone who had the pleasure of shaping your dreams? Ever just flowed until someone said, "Don't,"...

Our regiment has formed on the length of your coast, 
Each battalion is ready to go,
And the artillery is set to launch by tonight, 
And sweep everything below,

In the dark of your hour, when no one will know, 
Our death ray will light all you...

Sleep, Lord Poseidon,
Deep, everlasting sleep
While sailors watch with bated breath

Old planking creaks -
The pitiable, splintering sound -
Old planking creaks

Old sailor,
Splintery-kneed old sailor,
Keeps his watch

With ever a thought of life's futility,
Down deep,
Where dolphins stay

But Lord Poseidon never sleeps
And dolphins play.....
And play...

Poseidon the great
The Greek god of sea
Whose mighty waters shakes the earth
As the inhabitants of the earth  tremble 
With its oceanic waves 
Poseidon the great 
Brother of Zeus and Hades 
As they skillfully divides the universe among themselves
That Poseidon may reside 
At the deepest...

With spectral grace
A swirling dance
Of liquid light
Plays upon the ancient stage.

What was is not what is 
What could be is untouchable
What dreams bring are illusions
Masking unbearable reality.

At the climax of the play
In a chariot of gold
The creator watches his last scene
And blows out the stage...

The Curse of the Dead Sea

Dark ghosts traveling through the chilled air mist
where rare rough rivers, eddied and revolved, in
twists around into a violent, furious funnel offshore,
as this turbulent salt sea of iniquity opens up its storied,
salted bowels with its turgid moving fluids drowning
into a...

Beneath an orange sky and huge rainbow, 
Mestor, free spirited son stops the flow 
over his dad Poseidon, 
God of the sea, rift widen 
climbs upon his narwhal, puts on a show. 

Setting off with bounding leaps through the waves. 
Sunlit shafts shine in bright...
