Seaboard Poems | Examples


Premium Member Waker-Upper

A butterfly, aliferous,
of subtle slights, soniferous,
common spirits, days just went by,
aliferous . . . a butterfly.

Low pinnacles alight sought rest
forgiving sun favors spread best
microscope's trial . . . clinical's
nigh shipyard trash, few binnacles.

A game of chess, castling sleight clouds,
floating iced-pawn, a seaboard crowds,
Queen waves her move, column King, guess,
castling sleight clouds, a game of chess.

A sun descends, dusk purple trend,
birds fly inland, soon be darkened,
crater aglow, twilight ascends
dusk purple trend, a sun descends.

Orange drawn night, few shakes be such,
the moonlight trade, silver isn't much,
tours came and left cause show took flight,
few shakes be such orange drawn night.

Premium Member Song of The Venus Flytrap No 9: AABB

Unthinkable odds descriptive recounts,
The Venus Flytrap, U.S.A, amounts.
Unique to Carolina's, north and south,
triggers sensory hairs in its hinged mouth.
Small insect or arachnid alerts trap,
then leafy draws down close up tight till snap.
Carnivorous plants like soft and sober
subtropical wetlands southeast seaboard.
The Venus Flytrap is the most active
of such species. Sweet nectar's retractive
luring potential prey into its clout
closed-door policy, check-in don't check out.
Some Venus Flytraps make place most hostile
bug-free surroundings are most possible.


Lover Monster

Across the Sahara,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Upward across the Drakensberg,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Sailing along River Nile,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Indian to Atlantic seaboard,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Across the oceans,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Up the Rockies,
I come face to face with lover monster
Upon the Alps,
I come face to face with lover monster.
Lover monster here, lover monster there,
What a fate fronting me and my lover?
Let me sit down, come and devour me.
In your stomach, I’ll build my home.
But how will you digest my bones?

Premium Member She's No Lady

The Eastern Seaboard is on the alert.
They are expecting a call from Irene.
We are all praying that no one is hurt,
Since she is stronger than most have yet seen.
Experts say she will be ugly and mean.
The warnings are stay away from the sea,
It’s much safer just to pick up and flee.

Millions live in her aggressive pathway
And we’re hoping that they all will take heed,
That upon the higher ground they will stay.
Irene’s coming at a very high speed
She’s bound to cause vile destruction indeed.
Damages will be billions of dollars
According to economy scholars.

Whipped
by the
raging wind,
white horses ride
the
tide
until 
exhausted-
die upon the
shore

Inspired by Winslow Homer's paintings of the American seaboard at Maine

The Geography of North America

Far away in a galaxy once unknown to man
A vision of mass seen from other land
She does rest there, with her people of many
North America a land of plenty

A sub continent broken away from years gone past 
She lies there watching with her coast land so vast 
Included are the sub-regions here to name a few, from the Great Plains 
and the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the great basin with a view  
The Canadian Arctic with waters of crystal blue

California and Alaska a flat eastern region, wouldn’t you agree 
And the varied eastern region in the Appalachian Mountains ,can't you see?
Along to the Atlantic seaboard and the Florida peninsula there are fountains 
Mexico with its long plateaus and cordilleras falls, is largely in the western region,
although the eastern coastal plain does extend south along the Gulf so pleasing.
