Pirate Queens Toothache

A Pirate queen on the Dixie Queen 
Had a toothache truly bad and mean 
They docked for a day 
In Pelican Bay 
Sorry choppers now happy and clean...

Reincarnation

for Sally Whitcomb Keen
	1936-2016

You are stillness docked on
an invisible cloud couch,
the unflagging whirr 
of your wings’ wishes stirs
a lifetime’s memories,
O magical humming bird!
O marvelous Sal!...

Her Vessle

So long ship,
go on your merry way!
I hope I'll see you soon,
when you come
stumbling back to Bay,
to Bloor,
and Yorkville 
where we last docked,
and rocked,
swayed,
and dawdled,
talking
into the night...

So long ship,
farewell my love!...

Australia Day 1770

We docked the ship
dropped anchor in the bay 
headed for the shore 
pulling oars all the way 
the Captain at the helm
the Scientist at his side 
the joy in his face
had no place to hide
look at the Botany 
was all he could say 
then Captain Cook said 
call it Botany Bay...

Re-cognition

someone rocks the boat
creating a sway
it may be disconcerting 
but it is also play

willing to be surprised
which also means shocked
are we in mode celebratory 
with lower mind docked

reflecting thus we become 
the moon, the stars, the sun
we’re in a lucid dream
in truth we all are one...

Seven Sins Sail

Scraps folded into motion

Paper boats entered the race

Vessels of courage and speed

Flowing reminders of hope

Bets were on white water claims

Most crashed down the waterfall

Mine docked upstream on the shore

Red Sky At Night

The Rivers Current 
Flows in this Mind
Visions Drifting 
Propelled to the Waters Edge
Pockets of Wind  
Lead them to Their Port
Docked 
I can only watch 
Binoculars give a close view
Their Course is Set  .....
Remember Once You Set Sail ......
There is No Turning Back.......
Navigating ones Head and Heart.........

Docked









boxed to a corner
horde by unseen eyes
shirking the coming dusk
slashed to a million pieces
prickling the mind
wailing, screaming
with concise thoughts
as a lasso to the soul
we pant to the sabbath
as we come to birth
but with the brevity of breath
smirking with utter defiant
swimming in an ocean of doubt

Flirting

I asked an old man,
"What is flirting?"
He replied,
"It's a light-house sending
signals to the wrong ship.
If the wrong ship arrives safely on the dock,
the right ship won't be docked; it will wander around
the dock, or leave to find another place to be docked"....
Since then, I have been doing my best not to resemble
the habits of the light-house....

Sitka Sunset

Lights flickered as evening woke
     the tired lagoon
where wrinkled reflections
and silhouettes of a million
      spruce steeples
tickled the horizon.

A chorus of slapping halyards
joined a colony of gulls
in their repertoire
above the docked fisherman.

Trees, painted half-white
by windward squalls
faded off like a black curtain
to await an encore at dawn......

Louisiana Nightmare

---Brown Pelican Speaks---


I dreamed I danced with sea-creatures,
Between here and before…

I dreamt I wept with wandering waves,
Confused by silence, unable to ebb and flow…

I dreamed I prayed with the spirits of old sea captains,
Upon angelic clouds, unable to soothe the dry-docked tears
Of their grandchildren, looking skyward for hope…

I awoke………frozen in oil...

A Door Locked Is a Gun Cocked

A door with a strong key locked
Is a room outrightly blocked!
So, in which space had folks flocked
When darkest eleven clocked?

Not a door at which one knocked,
For stubborn key one has mocked:
The picture: a room with wares stocked
By one who had a ship docked,
All its windows well-shuttered
For a privacy not shattered…

A door with a strong key locked
Is a double-barreled gun cocked....

Treasure

I searched for the treasure.
It was said to be on the ledger of tha sea.
As I search the sea I didn't realize  it would be a free....
and from the tree's so long it would be.
The voyage was so long I decided to return homeSo we docked the ship.
I was discouraged.
I started walking the beach and to my surpise there it was the treasure.my family just standing there waiting for me on the ledge of the sea....

Am I This Lonely Boat

Am I this lonely boat
Docked in a few meters away
From this lonely shore
When life's necessity of living
Calls on the service for helping
I'm ready anytime for your using
In peace and rough sea I'm ready
Traversing this ocean unweary
I lay my fate to my Master
The care and love I trust to Him
The unwavering faith I call in danger
I lay my life and everything to Him
As I sail this sea of life....

Cardboard Dreams

Amidst the glisten of toys
the confetti of nursery rhymes
play dates and toddler pools...
children prefer a cardboard box
that becomes a boat-
a magic flying machine-
a train
a place to ignite the mind and dream.

In short time the train runs low on steam
the boat is docked to a flock of demands
the magic flying machine sputters 
in a cloud of graying tasks.
Must growing up burn imagination into ash....

Sunshine Bedimmed

the light had twisted a duress that was looming high tide in the sea typhoon chastises jade water over the bow jaded on the bridge thunderstorms floating level of brightness in spots out of the azure after ships are docked when you foretaste a rainbow the sunlight advent

What Would Have Been

To ruined reasons I am clinging,
In pools of pain I am sinking
It is the Truth by Boredom bringing
All my thoughts of worried thinking

That see me listless through my days,
And drain me dry of slipping strength
In my doleful Past, all focus stays
As does my Hope I've left at length

In my suffered grief, I am locked:
Never to change "what would have been"
My Ships of Doubt in Death are docked,
To never set sail for Truth again......

Ahoy

It is not
a foregone conclusion,
but a reality;
even porcupines
know love—
without making pain
a subsidiary organism;

The pain of love’s waves
may forth ashore,
but the waves recede
and the forth dissipates,
leaving a sea of memories
floating on the ocean of life;

Yet, docked and anchored,
you can still set sail
to tomorrow, today; trust.

You are the captain 
of your soul
and the wind in your sail:

Ahoy!...
