Two mighty boats beached
End of voyage reached
Captains’ judgement call
Rust consumes them all
Run aground and caught
Well-laid plans for naught
#1
How silent lies a lone ghost ship
that lists, tethered to its mooring
having run aground inside a
dying dream, now distant.

Grounded Ship
Dr. James E. Martin

The ship had run aground
While the crew was horsing around.
No one could see,
How this could be,
Since the Captain was nowhere around.
Camouflage afoot
hooves trembling
don't stay put
run aground disassembling
hurry shroud apparel
fortress in view
departure from the barrel
exemption you blew
woe
go
* It's hunting season, so I thought I would write about the poor deer :(
The Cane Mutiny
He had but one leg and one eye
and a ship run aground sitting dry
but his cane - still attached
and his limp - unabashed
caused the ladies to mumble – “OH MY”.

Listen to poem:
I looked for you one last time; as the sun went down
I looked for you again; when I was about to run aground
Was that my guiding star; it, was nowhere to be found
In a sea of contention; you were never really around
But even still, as I look for you; the sun goes down
I dreamt of us,in a different land.
We combed the beach,walked hand in hand.
We build a shelter with what we find,
Talk about,what we left behind.
We were both so happy as we sailed away,
But our boats run aground so here we stay.

Into the distance tracks of life reach
Worn rails from the rounds and rounds
Looking back on images bleached
Soon beached to then run aground
For as we travel life's tracks
Greened scenery caresses both hearts
But sadly life doesn't run so smooth
Just like tracks they can soon apart
There is a dash of salt in me
Garnered from my years at sea
Neptune, I honored and did plea
For the eternal calming lee
Then a hurricane winked at me
Such a storm was that lady
I tried my best to sail and flee
But she was such a pretty she
Now we live beside a tree
My new anchor and salty me
as a lighthouse
is to tell ships
it's alright
sail towards me
reach safety
in my arms
but light travels faster
than the speed
of sound so
by now you've found
you've run aground
without wax
in your ears
as fear harbors
you blind and soon
deaf knowing now
how the sirens
have evolved
Form:
The platypus excels at evolution
And displays a super cool solution
For making his way amidst the muck,
He don't run aground. He don't get stuck.
Of this, the platypus would never dream
As a self-respecting monotreme.
Indeed, a platypus of station
Will employ electrolocation.
Why compare yourself to somebody else
You are your own self
and unique in your own way
Instagram, Twitter or Facebook
it's not about your followers or how you look
Don't let your ship run aground
while you examine those around
It's not about others
or what they surmise
It's what's in your heart
they will visualize
Run Aground
Arr, Matey! Me ship has run aground,
In this shallow world, I search for character, but none to be found.
Through me spyglass, a foggy, distant world, unclear,
This incessant devil bird squawking in me ear.
A chest full of silver, gold, and jewels galore,
But what I treasure most is a love forevermore.
My TV quit today
God saw fit to take it away
Big ol ice storm came along
Knocked that boob tube
Off his throne.
Cable company doesn't care
They think I can just sit and stare
At a blank screen with no sound.
People I'm not kidd'n round
My way of life has run aground.
No TV Land no Disney too
No Food Network with all the food.
People won't you hear my plea
Give my TV back to me.
cub scouts boy scouts, army scouts, talent scouts
outdoor, indoors, camping, hiking, exploring,
learning, earning, helping, sharing,
caring, daring, uniform wearing,
athletic sports, playing games,
earning badges, gaining rank, recognition,
thanks, leaders, mentors, teachers, guides,
brotherhood, lots of pride.
The BSA has so changed their mission and audience that it has become generic and may not stay the course but run aground.
I feel so secure when you are near
And so alone when you’re not here.
You tell me that you will soon be leaving
My mind fills with fear, my heart begins grieving.
I’m so afraid you’ll walk out that door
Like so many others before
Those who went away and never returned.
I think by now that my heart should have learned.
-That a love is easier lost than found
-That dream bearing ships soon run aground
Yet I still feel so lost when you’re not around.
I am living steady
I am moving steady
In unsteady times
Keeping my balance and smiles
Though the world is unsteady
Keep moving and ready
To meet God in His kingdom
And live forever in freedom
Glorify God in good and bad times
So that you can overcome at all times
Cause the devil goes around
Stalking victims to run aground
Jesus the rock is ever steady
He is ever ready
To save those that trust in Him from troubles
As the devil strikes His grace is doubled
