Poem Category: Ships & Oceans

One whale
its wink so knowing
beside our boat.

Ionian whales
the waves from their dives
coming to meet us.

Sailing solo
I find the waves glow green
in moonlight.

The ship’s funnel
its shade comes aboard
the sun deck.

Coming aboard
the Black sea cruise
my birth-sign stars.

Aegean cruise
grandmother’s
story to learn.

Tropic isle
the swaying palms
heart beat time.

Night cruise
the swishes at the railing
of her party dress.

Coloured spinnaker
the scented winds
of islands.

Harbour sunset
not one gull standing
without a pink coat.
