Schooners Poems

thank you O sea

...Thank you O sea,
For the untiring music of your waves,
For the rolling of your rollers,
Thank you O sea
for your music so refined,
This music softens the soul,

MORE OR LESS?

...Recently has got me thinking...
Why do I resort to drinking?
Is it because I am lonely,
Feeling like a one and only?

Soul Whispers

heart and soul take flight

silver sea whispers
courtly smiles conceal the lies
channel breeze brings sighs

lighten hearts...

Sailing Ships

...I sat alone upon the shore
watching ships sailing in the sky
White schooners flying in rapport
I sat alone upon the shore
listening to the ocean's roar
cumulous clouds were drifting by
I sa...

Lacy Fingers of Ice

...Dainty lacy fingers of ice like crocheted filigrees
Are creeping across the cold, blue windowpane,
Like tri-mast ocean schooners on stormy seas
Dainty lacy fingers of ice like crochete...

Enticement

...Enticement

The girl in the bar that had floors made of stranded schooners
came and sat by us
Many sailors had drowned in her eyes.
On the way to the Saragossa Sea, their blood
ran down cracks ...

Summer Hell In a Day

...like the feel of wood swooning to seas touch
the scrape of knife on plate
slow mo clouds on breeze unsure
hushing trees
gargled chuckles of seagull pass
acetically addictive
glass alps projecti...

Lighthouse

...my friend,
          beacon, bright ...
               how you have bewitched my years,
     dancing on the wall of my room since my first memory,

Red Sails

...'Midst cannon smoke the sun arose, blood red

          To spread the night's cold horrors on the bay

               Our tattered sails waved farewells to the dead

Bass Strait Sealing Rush

...The Bass Strait sealing rush began in eighteen-o-three,
where at least a dozen vessels were wrestling with the sea,
for the China trade was booming, for the want of skins and oils.
This was the fi...

The Pub Call

...You`re off to the pub to see your mates
The beers cold and wet...and flows like the tide
And the first six schooners don’t touch the sides

Then you feel a warmth just start to creep
And through...

Sailing To America

...Leaving the dock, sounding the bells
Captain at stern, strong water swells
Winds give rise, full ahead call
Clear blue sky, no noted squall.

Boston harbor hosting, ships are notable

Autumn In the Air Hooray

...Autumn In The Air - Hooray

Respite from punishing 
     heat wave - yay
which above line,
     could "speak" volumes,
     and be a stand alone poem
     offering readers
     a reprieve nsy...

Porthgain Harbour

...This rusting chain is witness to an age
When slate was quarried from these ancient cliffs
And where one hundred quarrymen earned a wage.
This harbour, filled with steamboats, schooners, skiffs,
