Shaving your
Scales mermaid, 
And against
your will. 

Beautiful sea 
Creature, a siren
Entrancing the
Loneliest of 
Seamen. 

I bless the 
Sea Captain, 
The Admiral
Inside you. 

To your rescue....

Bring To Senses

We should bring him not 
To knees but to his senses
For peace to obtain.

Just heard that an Admiral 
had said this about North
Korean leader.

My late-night snack
  of peanuts and coffee
has got my family
  thinking I'm daffy

But if they weren't such late-risers
  they'd be appalled to see
me noshing red onions with mackerel
  in a wet towel ~ Call me Admiral...

Hat Stand

I call my oak hat stand who 
I don’t hang hats on 
Mr Admiral Confused and also 
Not Able to 
Think With Clarity. The east corner of 
my bedroom was where my 
old hat stand allegedly
beat up the 
old pedestal fan.

The intrepid Admiral David Farragut during the Battle of Mobile Bay,

Urged his hapless seamen to battle with these immortal words that day:

"DAMN THE TORPODEOS - FULL SPEED AHEAD!"

Easy for you to say, Admiral!  (Who was safely ensconced in the 'head'!...

Shadows flicker across my eye
blown on the wind,a brown butterfly

Hot summer days,wing into view
with an admiral and holly blue

Meadow brown,peacock and skipper
welcome pollen dusted,day-tripper

Art in flight,we so briefly see
conserved by us,their steward-trustee...

Rear Admiral “Amazing Grace” Hopper
To her colleagues quite the show stopper
She turned computers to household items
And now humans know how to control them

A counter-clockwise clock hung on her wall
To prove man’s mind is not so small
Always looking beyond and above
Her vision and efforts a labor of love...

It is only natural
That something so compelling
Would've acquired the cruel's admiral
You're hurt and i give you my heart as a dwelling

The final word is yours
I want to be done with tours
Stop for a moment
Breath you in
Forget about the torment
Of not knowing your demons within


Feel free to comment and give a constructive advice!! :)...

In the light of your beauty
I seek for those lovely songs
Planted behind those glossy lips
To peel the bark of my loneliness
Which is my hunger
But my admiral looks
Meets the glittering smile
Around your ring finger
My path unzips into two
Where I loose direction
If It’s shouting shininess
Is meant to scare
Or beckons with a stare
To tell you are taken....

As I slowly fade in my hovel,  TV speakers  playing.  I dream of a cave a lone figure?  A whisper, "Zareba."  Zareba?  In my head.  I ponder.  A monolith appears, so transparent it is.
Ohh!  The admiral bounty of this scene, in my head?
I reminisce of happy times.
The traffic noise is distracting.
Wait!
Is this really all but a dream?
Ohh! 
How I wish this dream.
SO true?...

Horn Haiku LES

straighten out trump mess
his voters are les
do wear pants or dress

The lower the LES, IQ,
level of education the
more likely they are to
vote. Wonder how many
TINO's there are. (Trump
In Name Only). The more
likely voter is a male, the
more likely they will vote
for Trump. Do you remember
"Turn Lights on for Admiral."
Trump supporters need to
start seeing the light.

They insist on it, what is natural can be supernatural. Vice admiral eat from my 
garden for I am quite admirable for your beneficient militia that is multi-national against the hexagonal eldritch terrorists if not have had an assist we would be wet behind the ears. Protect us from the unorthodox fears that have us bleeding wine from our ribs cut and skewered by spears. There wailing bewildered angry screams making us bleed tears....

A hunger like no other

A fevered pitch

That clutches like a searing iron

A unrecogniseable sign

Pushing for gain

No obstuction in view

A pathway leading to the door of wealth

Stepping on every foot

Pushing on every door

No one counted but you

A hunger that drove you to  a depth of despair

Some say an admiral quality

Some say unrealistic expectation

It's all a matter of  view

What greed will push you too....

Should I become a brain surgeon
saving lives with skillful hands
maybe conduct an orchestra
on a podium I’ll stand

Pilot of a fighter jet
protecting our native land
Admiral of a navy fleet
the top guy who’s in command

I could become a professor
teaching those seeking to learn
Perhaps a great politician
solving issues of concern

For any of these to happen
I’ll have to let go of me
“When I let go of what I am
I become what I might be”...

Look at this new rear gunny,
his uniform sure fits funny
Are your sure, he’s one of us?
Put him at the back of the sub,
six decks below
Begging your pardon, Admiral,
that is where
she was assigned to go
Gunny has 
top merit of her class
Torpedo ordinance expertise,
pure marksman target release
But I don’t like 
the salute of his hand
It don’t look navy masculine
I care not for his name:
Natasha is Russian feminine...

Ignoring the distance prohibition
    I was visited today by an audacious caller
          Defiantly coming within an inch of me
                And waving  three times before
                    Taking flight as swiftly as he had appeared;
                           No doubt believing that his status outranked
                                     Transient man-made stipulations!
