Best Surplus Poems

It’s so bright on these islands 
it feels like they must be nightless,
that with just 24 hours to a day, 
there’s more than enough light 
to go around.

The light floods water,
making it disappear,
so boats levitate,
their anchor lines making them 
look like realistic 
boat-shaped balloons.

Surplus of Requirement 

m/s “Kari” rode the seas like a swan, only when the most evil waves of 
the Atlantic ocean hit, did she flap her wings. Why was it she was crewed

"A surplus of memory"*

Darker than November nights
Falling softly on the snow -
Memories I cannot fight,
Memories that wouldn't go.

I take so little from this world,
a bread,
some spread,
little water,
some air,
that lifes me,
and dry my wares,
a little space,
to fall flat,
when I had enough of pace,
some shards to cover me,
and some books to read,
that is all I need,
why are you jealous,
of me,
dont you get even this...
