Short Hull Poems

Oceanic hull,
Cold aquatic figurehead:
Surging liquid prow....

Tell me a story
The groaning of the wood hull 
I can see my shore...

Empty
nothing
unseen 
person
what good will come, empty, nothing, hull.
Gave up too much, unseen, person; husk....

one kiss from you like a heroin high
a gaunt shadow hull without
love the key to cure all  ...

crest lull lone wave
drifted hull scarlet wake 
trails away jittered shake 
minds stay raiding crew...

buckwheat hull pillow
soaked with age and dreams
of long ago loves. . .
the one I would have married
had she written sooner...

ICEBERG

Iceberg in the ocean
Implicit danger then
In transit to New York
Injury to the hull
Impossible to float
Into the depths she sank...

Life, is a fact of matter,
that Absolutely,
Does not matter!!

Break the shell and keep the hull. 
Forgotten words, may leave undone. 
Remembering and regret it, 
Is still profound. 
For the person who speak. 
Love is unbound....

Though on the outside I look rather dull
I keep a secret deep down in my skull
I fool the world with common sense behaviour
Ha! No one knows that God lives here in Hull!...

Do you know a dogs nose best
True you knew God knows best
What a frog shows best
But a log burns best
Day is done gone to rest
Setting sun upon the west.

It matters not where you are from, that is by chance,
it only matters where you wish to be,
for that is a choice!!

before you cut your hair
it was a long river
for swimming hands

took a boat ride
just you
and a flowing heart

above a rolling hull
a seagull
combed the sky

over your pale shoulders...

A 
Man
Jonah
By name ran
From God by going
Down_ to Joppa
Went Down_in a boat to run away from God paid the
Fare went down in the hull and went to sleep each step brought him down and away from God...

I am a new found vegetarian
no longer supporting any barbarian
the task at first seemed gargantuan
but now I think it's all in hand
enjoying what I once deemed bland
reaping not meating from the land.

What's wrong with Hippies,
who like taking trippies
or smoke funny ciggies.
Freedom of mind, while brain is reclined,
no longer blind, the answers I find,
connections that bind, while time hits rewind.

Adrift in the cannon debris,
Her black flag grinned menacingly
With hull split in two,
Her captain and crew
Now sail on the floor of the sea.

SKIFF
blue hull
abandoned

in its twilight days
sailing the sea, no more
sadly, left upon the shore

"the fishing boat of an old salt"

Rock me in your wild, wondrous ways
beneath the push and pull of sails
within the ebb and flow of the sea
through undulating swells and spray
as waves hammer the heeling hull
until the wayward wind dies away.

Another six of 
Our Canadians have died
In a crash of a 
Helicopter in 
The Greek Ionian sea
Doing their duty.

Condolences go 
Out to all who are grieving 
At this saddened time.

I don't mean to hurt you
but I do
And I don't mean to love you
but I do
I don't want to want you
but I do
Don't you see?
I do miss you
Don't you agree
We do think it best
To seek another quest
and lay our love gently to rest!

seek help
your ship will sink
your world
will collapse
paranoia
anxiety
depression
will come calling
they will be happy
pretend to be
your friends

but are drilling
holes in the hull
of your sanity

seek help
your ship will sink....

When a vaccine for
Covid-19 has been made,
Would the time it took
Have allowed covid
To mutate beyond its now…
The vaccine useless?

Will we be ready
To go at it again to
Make a new vaccine?

Cyber takeovers
Are happening all over,
Silent and quiet,
Buying properties,
Real estate, farmland and banks-
Foreign ownerships?

How much today a
Country owns is never clear.
Checked your data yet?

The life I lived was
So exciting that I smiled
Each time something new
Occurred in one of
My days and I remembered
It as if it was

A thing that I had 
Gone through before, Déjà vu,
Sometime past, somewhere.
