FERRY RIDE


Premium Member Ferry To Freedom

Leaning on the rail,
Clasping a clutch bag of dreams.
Sea spray blends with tears.
Propellers churn memories,
Of Love betrayed and submerged.

Terry and His Ferry

There was a man called Terry
Who captained his own Ferry
When his ship hit a rock
He recovered from the shock
Drinking a bottle of Sherry.

Ferry crossing

The ocean 
Gave a gift to me
A coin for passage 
Across the sea
To pay the ferryman 
Should I need to cross
To light the lanterns
So I won't
Get lost


Ferry and Lovers

 at night under the moon light
as ferry cruise
its lke good news

nothing miss

FERRY  LOVERS

The Ferry

Everyone is sleeping,
As we glide across the lake towards home.
The shore line, glows in the distance.
The engine hums below the water.
And somehow I am captivated,
By the beauty of a single moment.

Berry and Cherry

As we gobble berry
And devour cherry
The heart is merry
Towards Bliss on a ferry
For Jerry and Kerry
And for Perry and Terry

As we indulge berry
And mouths cram with cherry
Disappointments we bury
And our woes the dreary

Then, a reply that shouldn’t me weary:
Where’s my promised berry
And guaranteed cherry?

Ferry Poem

I'm writing this poem on the ferry.
How much do I like this? Well, very!
The water, when smooth,
Does nothing but soothe
And my stress I am able to bury.

Though sometimes the river is choppy;
My handwritten words come out sloppy.
But still, I can write;
On my desktop, tonight,
I will print out a neatened-up copy.

Terri Loves a Ferry Ride

Young Terri loved a ferry ride,
She rode it all the time,
She'd put the money in the slot
To ride the ferry line.

The ferry rose up and down
Upon the harbour wave,
Sometimes she'd hear the foghorn
Blown by Ferry Master Dave.

When Terri arrived at the dock,
They'd put the gangplank down,
She'd whistle down the walkway,
Then stroll around the harbour town.

Premium Member Ferry Man Elf

Ferry man elf rode in on a stream
From the River Styx, or at least it seemed….
We were a tiny bit afraid of this elf so gray.
He had appeared suddenly on this somber day.

Do you think he’s here to collect? Someone asked.
It would be mean, and it’s such an awful task!
We did not know, but we gave him a wide berth.
This ferry man elf who sprung from middle earth.

Waiting For the Ferry

The water laps the ferry dock;
I keep my eyes upon the clock
For soon my chariot will arrive.
(We city people hate to drive!)

The schedule is accurate
And rarely strays the slightest bit.
I know that at 3:46
It will be here, so time for tix.

I open up the trusty app;
A few clicks later, it's a wrap.
I'll flash my phone and strut onboard;
A peaceful ride is my reward.

Island Ferry

8:15
The island ferry rumbles at the port
A stream of tourists scramble from the rear
As the sun goes down behind the concrete
Taxi doors glow in colours that can't be
Bought, sold or caught.


8:53
The Oil truck rumbles at the port
A stream of sweat with the change of gear
5 attempts to scramble up the drawbridge
And an empty bottle of beer
Glowing like an emerald on the wall

My Ferry Trip

Diamonds dancing upon the waters
I see the giants lining up along the shore line
some dipping
as if thirsty
into the sparkling waters

I see birds
wings spread wide to catch the breezes of the spinning earth
and watch them soar
in search of sustenance

I smell the salt laden air
that permeates every pore of my skin
and I feel taken away

to be alive is to experience
with all our senses.

The Humber Ferry

By heck it was cold on the Humber ferry

The water was deep and Hull smelled like leather

May I mention the bridge it’s all there’s left

The boat man’s gone, it must be the Styx

Right it was cold on the Humber ferry

!ow I’m a widow from him who I married

His mother was Hilda his father was Harry

His father went fast but his mother did tarry

We could well have drowned  her

If she had come on the ferry.

Premium Member Under the Moon

Heard the sound of a horn this morning
Pulled back the curtains and realized
The night dream still must be going 
The waves splashed by before my eyes
The tourist ferry had just moored
Passengers disembarked on the shore
It seems that your face has appeared
For a split second, or maybe more
I began to look closely, but very soon
I got dressed and hurried down the stairs;
The snow swirled under fainting moon
The streak of dawn spread in the air.

Premium Member I Am The Master of The Universe

Tapping a biro against a mug
Waiting, but then it happens
We're closing for the day
God is sitting in my office 

I've written a song for Bryan Ferry 
Nobody but Bryan will do
But I don't know Bryan and
I have no way to get the song to him

Who is humming this to me?
I don't run away from the fire, I run straight towards it 
I'm waiting by the phone
For the movie offer for my books

Me and Jericho, roof down, route 66
Undergoing much revision

Waves Scary From Ferry

took trip on ferry
waves seemed to be so scary
sizes would vary
(that applies to both ferry and waves)

had been contrary
only fools take a ferry
ugly wife marry

ride ferry had urge
great idea did emerge
buy my ticket splurge

after trip would end
only small amount did spend
ferry my new friend

would rain more and more
on ferry started to pour
on each beach and shore

knew without a doubt
from ferry we caught a trout
saw whale which would spout
