Poem Category: Ships & Oceans

Ship berth
the city fastened
to the gang-plank.

Tropic isle
pieces of mirror
the sinking sun.

A blue voyage
dolphins in the sun
drawing us on.

The cruise ends …
through the port hole window
a taxi rank.

Swooping gulls cry …
an Aegean sunset
on the polished sea.

Limp sails
seagulls drifting
besides the boat.

Dolphins frolic …
a sprinkle of clouds
dot the sea.

Ocean for miles
the dolphins think it playful
luring the ship on.

There ! deeper out
in the washing machine
a driftwood or a surfer.

Ionian beach
your tourist bracelets
jingling as we leave.
