Premium Member Seasonal Sea Horse and Sea Lions

Seasonal sea horse and sea lions named Sue 
Searching for a secluded seat in sea urchin’s seaweed.
Secreting secret signs, settling in a sailor’s simple shoe.
Securing secondhand seafarers, a signature of a sesame seed.


Tower of Light

Shining bright beacons
Fore warning, possible doom.
Edge end of the sea,

Seafarers delight
Magnified for gloom of night
Destination marks.

The Lighthouse

It appears undaunted, unstrainably
By duties dictated exclusively
To provide protection unfeignfully
For needed traveling unharmfully.

It safely furnishes luminescence
As proven effective unfailingly
In guiding seafarers efficiently
To harbors constructed judiciously.
Form: Verse

Premium Member Wave of Skepticism

What are we, if not seafarers? Writing words and aspirations to escape, Kraken's grasp of deep dark seas. Of turbulent brains during the storm. A wave of skepticism, as if love was magic. Isn't conceivable that this never occurs.

Premium Member Albatross

A bird with a shadow as big as a bus Archaic the sailors that in him will trust Always at sea coming in from the stern Arrogant seafarers will need to learn Ancient beliefs all have basis in fact As may become clear when the odds are well stacked Adrift on a life raft?.. He’s poultry… that’s that

Premium Member Getting the Job Done

“Necessity is the mother of invention,”
Making the case for improvisation,
Seafarers would say, “jerry-rigging,”
Results can often create a sensation.
Using what’s at hand to get a job done
Sometimes new and better ways ensue
I’ve been known to fix it with duct tape
As a last resort, I’ve used Elmer’s glue.

The Vanished Home

The Vanished home

 Most seafarers find their way home
others get lost on the way.
One was washed up on the shores of Algarve
and stayed the home he knew was no longer there.
But a memory of log fire and a mother
who read books and rarely looked up to see were
her children had gone.
It is all too late now; the seafarer lives another life.

Premium Member Poseidon

Powerful water-god 
Paradigm of Neptune
Pride of seas and oceans
Protects all seafarers
Placed as lord of horses
Paired to Amphitrite 
Put as god of earthquakes

Premium Member Lonely Lighthouse

The Smeaton Eddystone's architecture First lighthouse protecting navigators Light blinking, pulsating, luminously Loud foghorn resounding resonantly Guides shipwrecked mariners vigilantly Or swarthy seafarers incessantly On oceans perilous, tempestuous A sailor’s salvation eternally 09~19~14 Jan Allison Contest: The Lighthouse Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Form: Rhopalic verse ~awarded 1st place

Human Maggots

Human Maggots  

If ejaculated semen
From millions of seafarers 
Over hundred years
Think if this floating loneliness
Had met up and formed
An Island
And up from its depth sprung
The unborn like larvae
Whose only contact
With mothers were what
The seaman 
Was dreaming of at the time
Not Atlantis re- emerging 
But an island born out of tedium
And tired desire
Not on a chart
To find its existence
So be careful when dreaming.

Maggots

Maggots
  
If ejaculated semen
From millions of seafarers
Over a hundred years.
Think of this floating loneliness
had met up and formed
An Island.
And up from its depth 
Sprung the unborn
Like larvae
Whose only contact 
With mothers
Depended 
On what the seaman
was dreaming at the time.
Not a new Atlantis emerging
But an island 
Of tedium
And tired desire.
Not on a chart
To see its existence
So, be careful when dreaming.

Premium Member Matzo Ball Soup For the Soul

Explorations of cerebral fascination
  Devilish ideas' mutated peregrinations
Spirited inhalations of tribal incantations
  Torso-twisting through saucy peregrinations

Whilst the grimy sesame toast's torn asunder
  Swashbuckling seafarers burble and blunder
Through Deli Yammer's roasted pickle bars de-acidified
  n Arm n Hammer's blue-cabbage-power shake de-histified

If you think all this is rather hard to follow
  Dr. Fauci's linking it in cuneiform on marshmallow

Winds Return

A fog bank on the Horizon, 
        As a barrier to our way. 
       And oh the sea, so tranquil, 
          No breeze to ruffle it's face. 
        Our ship drifting aimlessly, 
           Her sails hang motionless. 
         Like peace fullness, the stillness brings, 
            It teaches Hearts to rest. 
         Some sailing on this ship of life,        
            See Doldrums as an end
          Take courage fellow seafarers,
             The winds will come again.

THE GOAL

It is the ACT in the goal set that seals the deal
Nonetheless, many a goal are broadcasted abroad
In sheer exhilarations that fades like dusk
And at the mercy of drifting time left rot
A perfect semblance perhaps
Of seeds that by the wayside did fall
And starving fowls obviously did on them relish a meal
In the event of a year almost a farewell bidding
The goal had been stationed a beacon in the vast ocean
A compass for weary seafarers’ guide
Till safely are come ashore sure.
