Premium Member Wrecked Ships Tableau

Rusty carcasses,
forsaken by time,
battered by wind, waves.
Once useful and proud,
now broken, forlorn.
The tales they could tell.

The Ships That We Sail

Two ships
Launch to sea
One ship sails
Into the 
Arms of night
The other ship
Sails into the
Hands of day
These are
The ships
That we
Sail

Our Ships While Passing Through

the
sails of
our ships
while
passing through
are 
tethered towards
the 
ancient soul of the ocean blue
you and 
i
now
here
comes the sun

Premium Member Alliteration -Sleek Steel Ships

Steady and stealth are
NASA’s sleek steel ships,
their bright brazen tail lights
trail baby blue skies 
as they climb cliffs of rugged cloud banks

where the flow
and sit
they move quick
by the wind the blow
there on there lot
sitting like a box
see them dip

Two Ships - 3rd Place

Two dead ships on shores 
that settled their scores.  
They died together, 
one stormy weather;
For, grudge is lethal 
and war is fatal.

Premium Member A Sailor In Norfolk

A sailor aboard ship in Norfolk
was always quick with a ludicrous joke
Though his humor was lame
he quit the ship to seek fame
Now he's the laughingstock of Roanoke

Ships

She launched one-hundred ships,

She quenched the thirst of men’s souls,

She imprisoned hearts with a single look,

Yet, you grow brighter than her with every stolen glance.

Ben is a Captain
Earnestly sails mighty ships
Nose bleeds and throwing up, why!!  He’s always seasick

A PIRATE'S SHIP

The pirate’s ship
Was about to be roasted
When it came to close
To Florida’s coast
An attack had been planned
The reaper was close
It was one blast from a cannon
And they were toast

Two Ships On Choice

Our life is a deep Sea
Option for survival is sailing 
Two ships to our choice 
To go with friends,friendship 
Otherwise there’s relationship
To decide as you please
But to hurry up this

Premium Member Ships of the Desert

Ships of the deserts, ancient as life itself Camels are our friends when water is scarce A pack animal elite Never bothered by heat Aboard these guys tween their humps in pairs

Ships Which Were Iron Clad

Ships Which Were Iron Clad

Could find ships which were iron clad;
That we did discover part of a new fad;
For protection,
Section by section;
Assigned to after I became young lad.

Silly Sally Saved Several Ships Contest

Silly sally sang so many silly songs,
Sometimes silly sally sang about secret storms,
 Suddenly silly sally sang about a sailing ship, 
Silly sally’s song saved several slips.

Jeu, the Living Craftsman

Jumped down to save the battle hardened pearl made from heaven's dazzling greatness 

Evenly spread and crucified the serpent of ocean's darkness 

Uplifted the ships of dazzling light he crafted to be heaven's brightness

Premium Member watch out for wenches on pirate ships

The wench was eagerly thrown overboard
Why did you do that? I asked Captain McCord
That dolly said a pumpkin is an overgrown gourd
The wench sprang from the sea carrying a sword
Became the new pirate queen after slaying McCord

Premium Member Your Face Could Launch a Thousand Ships

You were   beautiful to look at
No one could deny
Your smile

The red stain

Your face could launch a thousand ships
What passed your lips would sink them

Premium Member Two ships crossed

eyes met
faces lit up
in expectancy 
but the distance
between head and heart
could not be bridged
innocence wept
gifted moment lost
for now ethereal vibrations 
recognising oneness
remain barren
denied the caress
of love sublime by touch

Premium Member Crippled Ships

Neptune's net strikes on floating flames
Her souls sounding faint gossamer goodbyes
Ocean's octaves murmur mute
Dim dives to a regretful reef
Blue grief blurs, sailors say
In twilight tides, widows whisper
Their lost laments for crippled ships

Ships of foolishness

My Ship sails on a stormy sea
thrown by the winds of anger
I was dumped on the yellow sand
I am the lonely one
Ships of foolishness
you were a pique of a dream 
Chevron skies
gives way to understanding
in the last light
to devine a course of freedom

Ships That Pass In the Night

SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT

On the highway distant brights
Mushroom fast into a semi;
Then it’s mirrored in my mind-eye
Fading  fast and all just tail lights.

Eyes across a crowded room
Enchanted evening heartrush dance;
After such a whirlwind romance
She’s gone and once again there’s gloom
