Best Watery Poems

Flippers up
  Flippers down
Wave those flippers 
  All around

Swish your tail
  From side to side
Create a wake
  A water slide

Take a plunge
  Dive down deep
Your body propelled
  As up you leap

Hey, Sea Lion
  Clap your hands
When you perform

As summer’s hope dreamt it had caught him,
days tallied boardwalk planks one by one.
Candles became golden skies burned dim
beyond evening’s watery sun.

How I tried to help you with my friend,
but she had built a sandcastle there.
Only time and advice left to lend
on a beach came...

century later in a watery grave
souls of the elite as well as peons
float about the wreckage

boarding in Southampton
Dad carried jewels to sell in the States
I, just a teen, came along to see the sights

Dad’s money purchased rooms on the top tier
artistically designed ball room was...

There once was a fellow called Dwight,
Who thought a water bed was right,
But his house caught on fire,
And the outcome was dire,
When he was poached to death that night. *

For Natalie's Fun Death contest

* Based on an old joke, like the man who tried to...

I Shall not kneel...Beyond the depths
 Of the tears... Long since have fallen...
 Nor shall I gather... Again amongst them..
 'Less their untimely stage of demise... 
Binds the hands of space and time..
 And I ripen into a single grain of salt..
 Amidst their long...

the watery sun
fails to brighten the grey day- -

The watery grave
Is proof I was saved.

It wasn't my death
Only the funeral
For a life on Death Road.

God is so practical.
Doesn't use dirt
Only a liquid grave:
A useful coffin
For useless life.

Then a watery resurrection 
Fresh
Innocent 
Pure 
New
Something that has never existed before
Rises powerfully,
To an endless life
With unnatural...

I saw you grin, oh Fossegrim,
when by your waterfall...
I was entranced, oh Fossegrim
and that's not only all.
You taught me tunes, oh Fossegrim,
on your watery violin!

Teach me more, oh Fossegrim,
and I will pay you well.
I need to play as good as you,
and not play an awful...

I sparkle and
burst into flame. 
The winds leave no mark
of my ashes to claim.


While losing the linchpin of my body,
resulting in vaporization, 
disarray engulfs my land
until I’m decomposed from composition. 
I should be unborn.


This world fills me with remorse. 
Corpses over corpses honor the dead’s...

autumn fast faded
    watery eyes winter came

One time a stickleback
Asked a tadpole what’s the craic
He replied there’s nothin’ doing
It’s just the water I was viewing

So he slurped a glass of gin
And let the stickleback begin
To swim upside down in loops
Until his eyes began to droop

I’m becoming very dizzy
Feels like the Mississippi
The...

Look high to the hills to see peaks of icy water laden tops
Water is flowing downwards into winding streams
The permeation of ponds, lakes, rivers and the mighty seas
Thus a supply-chain like feed supplying all watery needs

The Sun's fierce heat induces water evaporation
A dark daunting nimbostratus...

Blazing proximity,
wild racing pulses,
unspoken signals,
silence speaking
more than words;

he takes her hand
leading to the room,
anticipation building,
rushing eagerly on
with each heartbeat;

his eyes intense on her,
she sheds her clothes
and him following suit
unable to wait any longer
for that magical moment;

raging bodies revealed
now but for tiny strips
hiding almost nothing
from the...

If life were an ocean,
My loved ones would be the waves
That appear before me and leave.

If life were a river,
My loved ones would be the lake,
And even though we separate,
We’ll always be connected to each other.

If life were simply water,
My loved ones would be the...

Look at the river
As rough as the sea
It's like a watery pathway
To mystery...

Never stopping
Never changing the path

Some even have names
Like the Nile
Or the Amazon




Olhe para o rio
Áspera como o mar
É como um caminho aquático
Para mistério ...

nunca parar
Nunca alterar o caminho

Alguns até têm nomes
Como o Nilo
Ou...
