Please stop rocking the boat.
I would like to remain afloat.
I don't feel like swimming ashore.
Please don't rock the boat anymore.


Premium Member Stubbed Toe

Silently washed ashore
this precarious log; from
where did you come, to 
where do you go?
My dog, on you he'll
chew... I hate you.

Premium Member happy new year

thinking ocean life silly

dolphin edna mae tilly

ashore amid cheers

a squeak for new years

then boards a bus for philly.

The nightmoon limerick

Palatial the vapid moon
Saints demure often taken and schooled
Haverhill aplenty
Goosebumps ashore gifted
The honorable Mai Tai pools

There was an old man of the sea
Who was invited ashore for tea
He took just one sip
Hurried back to his ship
Muttering a tot of rum will do me

        blue is the color I adored
          the very color that day she wore

Premium Member Albatross

Astounding high fliers
Ace gliders and divers
Artful, very skillful
Amazing large wing spans
Ashore only to breed
Awesome and majestic
A great bird of the sea.

Written In the Sand

Happy birthday, dear Mary Ann, 
Waves go ashore when tide is high; 
Lovely words written in the sand 
Are witnessed by the sunny sky.

Immigration Crisis

now years later,
walking down those rubble and dirt,
which creak in agony,
i am reminded of that innocent face,
which once washed cold ashore,
on a bloody dreadful day,
when the world stood still.

Premium Member O, Weary Traveler

  
     O, weary traveler, tossed ashore by fate
        Despair not, though long has been the wait

     Finding yourself hurled back to the very start
        Wisdom is simply nevermore to depart

Islands

I cometh through the sand stones of time 
Washed ashore before you were born 
Knowing my voice is silent  
Though determined to find 
The one who prevails 
Through terror reigns 
Set me free 
For you

Through terror reigns

Gentle Wakes, Violent Waves

You must never disturb a woman
when she is taking her beauty rest 
while floating ashore on gentle wakes
or else she will transform
into a human hurricane
with lots of violent waves
surging right back at you

Asea, Ashore

although the waves violently swirl 
   and splash about, 
      fiercely gnarl 
         and roar,

   their rippling wavelets so gently 
      woo and caress 
         the soothing,
            soft shore.

Premium Member Tsunami

volcano erupts

beachside village in peril --

    monster 'neath the waves


water wall rises

tsunami washes ashore --

     souls float on blue tide

My footprints painting pictures on  land
While walking barefoot in wet sand.

Admiring the patterns on high
Created by clouds up in the sky.

Picking up the coral and shells
That wash ashore on the ocean swells.
