Full Steam Ahead

Full steam ahead my friends
There is no half heart needing to defend

For life is good 
So make your plans as you should

See the world in all its wonders
There is no need to worry or go asunder.

Premium Member There's No In-Between

Either out the words tumble
     and flying fingers can't keep up

  or letters stall and stumble

  Inkjets of frustration
     splatter 'cross my screen
  There's no in-between

  It's either full steam ahead ~
     else Poetry's left me for dead

Dinner's A Chore

DINNER’S A CHORE

Dinner, my turn, nothing in the fridge
Off to market, be gone a smidge
Car won’t start, battery’s dead
Jump it, full steam ahead
Old gossips in the aisle, won’t move aside
‘Scuse me’ I croon, but they get snide
Right back I get crass
Suggest they kiss my ass

Premium Member Expensive Cheep

Operation disaster plan
madman gone crazy
off the rocker
once apon a time
still going on today
burning coals
head full of orange steam
we don't know why
I guess
green light
green suit
engine full steam ahead
destroy
wisdom
wise 
intelligent of the intelligent
frustrate
with bad no sense
expensive cheep
bribe

Raspberry rubies drip from her lips

My mush-mouth tongue drops to the ground 

Girlish giggles as she sashays hips

Gearhead's freight train drowns out all sound


Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead

This wreck scheduled to arrive and shine

She flips the switch on the tracks instead

Breakheart Pass skips a worn-out line

Going To Sea

- Underway
Batten down hatches,
Engine order telegraph...
Clangs full steam ahead.

- Crossing The Bar
Gray sky’s foreboding,
Waves crashing over the bow...
The steal womb shudders.

- Making Way
The days grow longer,
As gulls climb on the fresh breeze...
Betwixt and between.

- Arrival
Red, right, returning,
Tugs hasten our arrival...
Heaving lines are thrown.

...(fall, winter, spring, summer)

Premium Member The bear necessities

Wildlife photograph of the year 2024
Polar bear asleep on iceberg remnant

The bear necessities 

Here I slumber 
here I stay
My world is melting 
and I’m miles away
Drifting off to sea 
dreaming what will be 
Going with the flow
Where else can I go
My pillow feels nice 
I listen to the ice 
its shrinking voice 
Telling me 
to get a larger bed
Full steam ahead 
in over my head

The Big Ol'E Gigantic Wave

Grandpa and I 
Went to the beach
One Beautiful summer day

Grandpa went down
To the waters edge
I stayed in the sand to play

Then came a wave
That seemed to roar
Full steam ahead
Right towards the shore

I tried to yell …
I was just a kid…
“Wave, Grandpa, Wave!”
And Grandpa did….

While facing the shore
With his back to the sea
Grandpa smiled
And waved at me!

I still recall
And won’t forget
How that wave
Got Grandpa wet!
