Best Seaman Poems

Out at sea, facing a dark heartfelt storm.
Heading for a lighthouse, taking him home.
 Looking at a lit place, over the Hill.
Music and laughter, the night was not still.
 In a mood for company,  He went in.
 Walked to the bar an ordered a...

Golly Gee, shoot I'm mad
Golly Gee shoot I'm mad.

I feel sad
I fell sad
I try  I try
I cry I cry
Why?Why?Why?

C'mon guys

Dang Dang de doodly. How screwy.

Today we celebrate 
Sammy the Seaman
who caught enough
to overfill his big net.

It's truly amazing that
he fed every family
from one single catch
which we'll never forget....

There once was a seaman named Seymour
Who dived thirty feet down the ocean floor
When he spotted a great white shark 
He swam up to the top like a rocket spark
And left the sea for the mountains of Lenoir

He was turbulent, fearful, and a dipsomaniac. He was dead to the target, undeniable emulation of his father. So I've been told.

Equated with many of his uneducated and socially stigmatized peers, starting at an early age he worked menial jobs until he married and asserted...

Bivalves echo the sound of
His longing for a solitary existence.
Peripheral of a dark storm
Of a crowd.
He looks down.
The seaman. The man of the sea.
This is no man's land.
An outsider, he is.
Living on the margins
Of the big vast void.
Oh the sea. The sea. He yearns for.

My grandfather Hymie 
     spent his entire life at sea
his thick calloused hands 
     and ruddy complexion re
     enforced non verbal body language 

voluminous tomes as testimony
     to countless...

How can one be a,

Master seaman if the sea,

(scoured from dregs of me muss held head)

I shore up a vignette to free 
my ("FAKE") grandfather Hymie,
whose scrunched countenanced 
evinced beetle that of browed monkey
he spent his entire life at sea
his thick calloused hands

and ruddy complexion re
enforced non verbal body language
voluminous tomes smoothed

A Bo'sun in the pub was wheezing
From Wanda Mann's underhand teasing
An organist by trade
And accomplished milkmaid
Her fingers were quite busy squeezing

The Bo'sun recalled a sperm whale
That spouted away in a gale
Wanda knew how whales blow
And performed it just so
The Bo'sun would buy her more ale

The...

Somewhere far beneath the mystic tide
golden fish swim and shy mermaids hide.
Magical creatures seen by keen eyes
dance with waves tinted by blue of skies.

what if, by night, a different tune,
upon sea rocks, attended by Lune
an old seaman, long beard and long hair
plays color-filled notes on...

Walking along the seashore
Sand sifting through my toes,
Pondering ancient mariner lore
Walking along the seashore,
Scenes my mind can scarce restore
Of sailors and their pirate foes,
Walking along the seashore
Sand sifting through my toes.

Seamen of HMS Dribble
Take Sundays off just to quibble
They all enjoy
The Cabin boy
But which of them gets "First Nibble"?...

A man attracted to the sound of waves
Ended up to live in the lighthouse
Since then
His job is to hang the things
Floating in the ocean

At this port
Ships come in from all over the world
Some travel on the sea of tears
Of hearts that have never reached to...

Sailor men, bell-bottom dressed,
They know what ladies like the best:
Strong men, with hair upon their chest
And with duration well possessed.

So come ye maidens howe’er you look,
If you can bake or you can cook
Come out ye from your sheltered nook
And do not pleasure overlook....
