Best Raft Poems

Ellen's Raft

We sit above the darkened sea
A bench, my thoughts, and lonely me
Black waves rise igniting fear
And crash against my concrete pier

The mindful storm tears at me
No moon, no stars, just my sea
White caps pushed to meet the sky
Higher and higher the waves try 

Rescue...

Let life's current carry you

                   to where love knows no sorrow.

Like a river that runs true,

Incredibly magnificent compare to the rest,
Gericault’s “The Raft of Medusa” is truly the best!
Represents realistic men suffering at the sea,
Horribly incredible when everyone sees
Showing a tragic incident of incredible war,
Sufferings of men are seen in this exemplar 
It’s a romantic depiction of reality!
It’s an enchanted...

Pisces vacation...
muscles melting in the sun
waves cradle gently
bodiless, only the now
Mother Ocean rocks her child...

Deflated Raft 1 and 2 – Haiku

     Deflated Raft 1

air depleted, sigh
rubber flat, spinning chaos 
raft takes on water


     Deflated Raft 2

floats on cold water  
flat, under maelstroms great weight 
watch the raft turn, sink...

She lies in the water
Breaths in and gracefully floats
Implants are great

Taking my dogs on a raft trip to North Missouri,
Solomon, Jasper, Jetsam and baby Madame Curie,
None of us are swimmers, but there is no real worry.
We float along in peace, none of us in any kind of hurry....

Dream on a raft

A balsam raft, with a mast and a Latin sail, I built for amusement on summer days on the inner sea, 
but I found myself too far from shore, daydreaming is dangerous, 
I had forgotten the dark undercurrent. 
The shore is hazy;...

Floating On A Raft

Floating on a rickety old raft
The water flows around me
Silently it creates small eddies
The water reflects the trees on the shore
Such peace only miles from the city
Could this be the Eden God promised?
If it is I never want to leave
Let the city...

Seeing the darkened clouds
accumilate

I spy through my mind's
eye

And feel the stormy winds
acidic rain sting all about
my naked face 

And hasten hastenly to build 
myself an ark / raft fit purpose
bespoke for wrecking

Using any material disposable
close to hand i can possibly find

So none the less i...

After their patriarch died,
sea witches circled the night.
Those left behind clung to hope 
on a raft made of his bones,
until sharkness devoured the light....

The water is rippling between my toes
The sunsets beauty is illuminating
I see the glow of pink and orange
Spreading across the oceans bluish green
A flock of birds are flying by
Across the darkening colorful sky
The dark of the night is creeping in
The beauty of the scene is...

Within his mind he is asleep at times
For most of the journey he is awake
Creating his direction as he steams ahead
Adrift on this raft with only his arms for steer
Lonesome and tired he feels tried
But he approaches the tests he himself creates
And passes them each...

I’m a broken man
don’t know who to trust.
Being a broken man
allows you not to trust.

I’m a broken man
with lots of blood,
bleeding from the heart like a river.
Being a broken man
helps people raft on the red stream
And they don’t give a damn, whether you die in...

A fog moved in as we floated on a raft in the middle of a licorice ocean
and friends began dropping off into the sea swimming towards land I could not see and I wanted to go with them but I was afraid and then I...
