Poem Category: Windjammers

A breathless dawn
the windjammer wheel
no one stands to.

Arms folded
to the crescent moon
the windjammer captain.

garden table
the book of history
leafed by a wind.

Of summers past
the windjammer barnacles
tied to the wharf.

At dawn
windjammer following
the wild geese home.

Windjammer in the sun
sailing only
on the mantelpiece.

Misty rain …
quietly out of the dusk
the windjammer beside us.

Captain’s daughter
the windjammer in white
for her wedding.

first of spring
sharpening the shadows
in the sunlight.

In winter waves
a sudden storm bemoans
the windjammer.
