Agatha Christie - 1890-1976
er first time on a board,
February 1922,
was Muizenberg, South Africa,
then again, in August,
the lady surfed Honolulu,
Hawaii, where,
by Duke Kahanamoku,
there may have been taught,
and in Waikiki lost her shorts.
Who would have thought,
of all the girls
in the whole wide world,
she was the sort to shoot the curl.
Tho' a novel way to spend the day,
no crime this time,...

Lord of the Western SeaChristian daimyo, Yukinaga Konishi
Born a merchant, became Commander of the Sea
Granted favour by God and man
Defended faith throughout the land
The youth once granted his father's name
An appellation that promised a life of pain
Graven in paradoxical parts
Warrior with a gentle heart
Serving those who met cruelty with acclaim
Defeat in war cost him his head
But faith he held...

Blood Is Thicker Than WaterWater describes a stranger while blood describes a family member
This statement has been around for as long as i can remember
When it comes to different situations why is this statement used
When the truth is when you're in need of help your family has refused
Family isn't the the blood it used to be because its been...

The Camel
If a camel is the ship of the desert
then speaking equally
a ship is the camel of the sea
altho' a camel can go without water
for up to seven months
a ship without water on which to float
is neither a barque a barge nor boat
as the camel needs food
to get over the humps
it seems like a dromedary
conundrum to...

How was the universe createdIn God’s heart an intent arose,
which we may simply call His will,
to manifest the universe,
where agape love may overspill.
God conjured earth, water and fire
which are present in every form
and once this knowing we acquire,
bastions of wisdom we can storm.
These three elements God combined,
to create all that’s manifest,
by force of His absolute mind,
each form being...

Water Source
There's a water shortage in countries,
especially where there's strife,
and air conditioning is needed,
to lead a pleasant life.
We also have bone-dry Bermuda
where, except for 5" monthly rainfall,
collected in cisterns or brought by tanker ship,
there's no water to be had at all.
Attempting to inform the people in power,
an endeavour which failed of course,
what every island AC emits,
and...

H2O
I'm more watery than women
under the skin
altho' my body's composed
of 6 chemical elements within
and all that remains
to go with the flow
is approx. 60% H2O
and the gravity of the situation maintains
if I stand
on my head or hands
or do cartwheels
(head under heels)
(tho' I prob'ly shouldn't oughta)
on the cranium I'll have water
(hydrocephalus)
then again who knows
how else would I...

death is the color of waterDeath is the color of water
rivers soft and hushed
hard as bone
chambered in the cold caress of silence
the hook of dawn
the wasting night
reddest born
skin of new fire
painting shades
in darkness / wrung
this is the Death I breathe
when fingers crack
from holding the earth together
holding you
holding me
…together
Death is the color of water...

The golden stainThe golden stain of the sunshine
Made the sea water shine like gold
And gave egrets at the coastline
The golden stain.
The egrets came with their household,
To make the water like their shrine,
Their beaks and wings defied the cold.
Young egrets stayed at the shoreline~
Their playful nature they unfold,
Still gifting the twilight skyline
The golden stain.
Inspired by picture 1....

Fantasy - Imagination Are Twins"Fantasy ~ Imagination Are Twins. Having a fun time playing together in our dreams." By Poet
As I look into last night's "Dream,"
I see a "Visualization" downstream.
I see a huge bear and cubs dressed in lace of red and cream,
that is a crazy color scheme.
Is my "Imagination" going up in steam?
The bears looked...

Horse to WaterYou can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink
You can present a man with evidence, but you can't make him think.
You can push a rock up a too steep slope
You keep sliding back, and you're at the end of your rope
It's not that they're stupid, they might have a degree.
Is just...

In Water DarkImage : 3
In water dark, I learn to drown
A silence colder than the sea
The ghosts I fled still pull me up
In water dark
He haunts the edge where I should be
A memory I never chose
Still carves his name inside of me
He finds me gasping, cold, stripped bare
Each time I hide, he leaves a mark
I bleed unseen...
