Stranded Poems

From Ashes, I Arose Anew

Your love flew wingless with the summer wind,
And left me stranded, hopeless, in a pit.
Alone I became too much for my mind,
With my love jailed by your self-written writ.

I was consumed by the flame of your rage,
Yet from the ashes, I arose anew.
I found a heart whose kindness could assuage,
And clean even a faintest thought

S-O-S

Am I on an island launching bottles out to sea
beached at the waterline will someone rescue me
I'm drowning not waving as the boats go by
abandoned at high tide does anyone hear my cry
here am I sad to say writing messages in the sand
marooned a lonely castaway will somebody lend a hand
if I'm on an island

Stranded

Don’t add me to some country if you can 
Affiliation of the small to something big 
Is not my thing, I’m only what I am
Not greater than I was, and used to be
Don’t mix me with the current politicians
Do not expect that I would stage a coup
I was an artist but I lacked ambition
I do

Santa got stranded in Florida

In Florida, Santa was found stranded,
All drivers grew wary of his white beard,
Yet, his gifts they had earlier demanded,
To everyone, he then looked somehow weird.

But soon came a driver dressed all in red,
Who believed that Santa was a spirit,
So, he slowly approached with a bowed head,
His problem, he believed he would solve it.

He was happy

Santa Got Stranded In Florida

That was an extraordinary Christmas eve for Santa to remember.
In colorful fancy wraps he packed all the gifts through the night,
loaded them on the sleigh until the dawn’s first sunlight shined,
when on snow-laid track the reindeer led by Rudolph charged.

After a while chilled breeze stopped flowing across Santa’s face,
warm winds blowing over palm trees and

Santa Got Stranded in Florida

Traveling from Europe, Santa with his team had a pleasant time.
Temperature being below zero, he enjoyed the cool clime.
But on going to the South side of U.S, he felt, heat waves surround
So humid it was in Florida with a warm weather all day round.

The sultry heat of Key West and Miami made them so testy.

Santa Got Stranded in Florida

The North Pole life can be so hard.
Poor Santa longed to take a break.
His missus told him, “Off we go
to Florida. It’s for your sake!”

While he lounged by the indoor pool,
she vamoosed with a young masseur
in Santa’s car with all his cash. 
This vicious blow he would endure.

He called Rudolph: “I’m stranded here.
I want to

SANTA GOT STRANDED IN FLORIDA

Santa, on an extended vacation in Miami
Heard news that Rudolf’s leg was gammy
It was the middle of December already
And with wine he was feeling unsteady

For this Christmas there was no Plan B
So how was he ever to make a delivery
Now the elves were threatening to strike
So he’d pull the sleigh on

Santa Got Stranded in Florida - POTD

Santa and reindeer's were very tired,
they had one more area left to do.
This last place was very big,
it's name was Florida.

 
They must come in over land,
hitting the water they will make a huge splash.
Rudolph must see the tall lighthouse,
a bright light lighting their way.


It was a hard landing on the sand,
the sled broke.
Sunny Florida

THAT STRANDED GALLEON

A cool September day
We came to La Magdalena of Santander
Next to the Beach of Sardinero
To see the penguins and the seals
And the galleons "Ana de Ayala"
The "Cantabria" and the "Quitus Amazonas"
Stranded in the air
In the blue of the sky, in the sun
Waiting for the sailors to arrive
Who have abandoned them
Carrying a chest in their hands
With

Stranded in Peace

spring blooms lost in deep snowdrifts
black ice roads mark highest peaks
shared coats and tea in old flasks
child builds snowman in a lee

night closing in on mountain
cold is seeping into bones
spare layers of clothes shared out
prejudices not valid

morning broken by weak sun
its beauty lost on the group
stranded in bitter landscape
amongst friends of all races

in shorts and

STRANDED

A gentle surf ruffles cold sand
They sit reveling in its scent
Shivering in its distant breezes

Sharing a memory of valor
Pummeled by an angry sea
Riding the curling troughs

Crabs plays hide and seek
Beneath their weathered forms
Seagulls shriek in frustration

They sit
Preserved by an ocean’s need
To remember

Love Stranded

>In a house that once echoed with love's sweet song,
A woman now finds herself feeling so wrong.
Her husband, once tender, now distant and cold,
Leaves her heartache to silently unfold.

He was once her knight, her protector, her guide,
But now in his absence, her love starts to hide.
She remembers the days when his touch was so warm,
But

Good Friday Stranded

Four months pregnant
show them the belly.
Real not plastic,

Ultrasound glares pierce
a lack of eye contact

stuck at the Papa John's
on Fountainbridge. Eleven PM.

Drunken men to be avoided.

A place to stay - no,
money for a place to stay.
It's my first.

I thought  I'd get paid
but Jesus was crucified

now I can't pay for an inn
- it's not like there's

Project Eden

The crescent moons of the auburn sky
The acid rain clouds dance, purple, by

The air it stings as I respirate
A strange howling noise as the storms berate

This tempestuous land, a million clicks from home
My genes robust; Seventh Generation Clone

As I stand here longing for the ship's repair
To accelerate, under robot's care
