Poem Category: Ships & Oceans

Harbour storm
the long pink struggle
ahead of dawn.

Bringing us to islands …
at the ship’s prow
the squawk of seagulls.

Ionian sea
our windjammer shadow
keeping pace with the whales.

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.
