choice of victuals to be stranded with
Beans, macaroons, fudge,
Cinnamon rolls, sugar for coffee
If I get shipwrecked
She
scribbles on the sands
a shipwrecked autobiography
Form:
a shipwrecked treasure
clipper ship on the sea floor
a pirates envy
never recovered
regaled in sea shanties
considered a myth
Her blue swirl sea green orbs woo,
me, shipwrecked swimming waif with,
that wild tide rush froth-rimmed glance,
I capsize transfixed
such painful ecstasy
such troublesome want
to care so much
to want to be with so much
some wonderful creature
who feels no love for you
Quirks
of fate
make nonsense
of us all
Shipwrecked
on a vain reality
we stand naked
— before the Queen
(Dreamsleep: October, 2025)
Lost upon the waves,
Ship splinters 'neath storm's fury,
Sky merges with sea.
Island sands embrace my plight—
Hope blooms in the heart of night.
You have a heroic soul
of a thousand cries kept
in bitter joy suffered
of so many succumbed fish,
so many shipwrecked men,
and frightened ...
Sea, my sea,
I realize when
you made yourself
cold ocean,
my love that was
Titanic passenger,
it was strong, but
was shipwrecked,
it was on board
in this agony...!
Desert island dreams.
Wind and surf with golden sands.
Sunshine steals my heart.
Paradise begins to wane.
Hell on Earth shipwrecked alone

Autumnal Poem (Tanka)
(After a photo by Albert Russo)
This rock in the sea
Looks like a shipwrecked vessel
In October sadness
A ship manned by seagulls
her captain, a tired seal.
So much sorrow and failure I see.
All are shipwrecked in life's angry sea.
Be it illness, divorce,
rack and ruin perforce.
The exception, of course... will be me.
shipwrecked and saddened
I now swim up to the shore
what a sight I see
the skyline’s lit up
colors shine bright and sparkle
memory is formed
Russell Sivey
Entrant into PD's, "Sunset ((Haiku))" contest
Ripples fade on shore
as there will be next to fade
like a shipwrecked soul
who risks and writhes in defeat
like a dropping leaf on scream

Third Place
Doris was dowdy, drab, and draggle-tailed too
Forever frumpy, frightened, a failure, at age thirty-two
Jaundiced, juicy-gossipy, jealous, and July jailed
Slovenly, slithery, shipwrecked, her moment had sailed.
I'm from the sea
since remote time
in which electrifyingly
i sailed paper boats....
Since early ages when i
commanded the white boats of clouds..
Now I sail in the deep sea of myself
where I am always shipwrecked... !
My thoughts are empty Vessals.
Floating in a deep dark Lake I Think.
The waves are not Connected.
There everywhere it Seems.
One moment I am Shipwrecked.
Others as though I Sink.
I am hearing many Voices.
Its pirates so to Speak.
Form:
we were both shipwrecked
but you are lost to me
you raft is drifting away
with all my provisions
you are turning into nothing more
than a speck on the horizon
leaving me here with only a memory
to keep me company
through these lonely days
Stormy deep water was my life.
A shipwrecked person,
without lifebelt and hope, swam in the midle of the ocean.
I raised my head to see the sun and to take a breath.
I saw you,
To rise inside my soul.

the moored hulls
drop
down in the haze
rise again
like wet birds
the boats slip
in and out
of the mist
come back painted by
distant seas
wet ropes squeak
rigging rattles as they list
water is shipped
whitecaps last seen
in a shipwrecked
china teacup
Are the sordid stories about the surreal,
sharp, stoney Greek isles known as Sirenum Scopuli,
supposedly inhabited by sexy, sultry, sirens,
who salaciously seduced stupefied shipwrecked sailors
by simply singing lascivious songs,
surely mythologic or surprisingly true?
Charmed Tides of Emotions
Charming tides of feeling wash over me,
Emotions' currents, wild and free.
With a smile that outshines the sun above,
He draws me in, I'm helplessly in thrall.
Yet as swiftly as they rise, they recede,
Love's leaves me shipwrecked in its wake.!
both toroidal heart and spacial forehead
align with supine spine standing erect
that all nodes of form with bliss beats thus wed
no longer in dungeons of fear shipwrecked
radiating joy as God does direct
that with fullness in emptiness the norm
we’re the epicentre of love’s bliss storm
River boats
drop down into sunken fog,
return
as buoyant as swimming seagulls.
A deep diving sky
spindrifts the hulls,
decks now ship airy waves
from far away seas.
The craft ride high and low
on this muted swell,
a cresting last beheld
in a shipwrecked China teacup.
I am a shipwrecked fool don't you know
battered by the ocean of you
how could I let myself sink so deep
where the depth of you will forever be my keep
later down the road, they'll find my bones
next to the chest of Davey Jones
hand in grip, heart adrift
a shipwrecked fool with nothing left
