4 SEA POEMS

FELLOW LOVERS
*
We are
fellow lovers
of the sea.
Because of
her
infinity
to all she gives
fidelity.
*
ANCHORS AWEIGH
*
The breaking of the day
Light oer the sea
makes its way.
Wind counterpoints
the 'anchors aweigh!'
as it fills our sails
and
from across the bay
takes us blissfully away.
*
SANDSTITCHING
*
The sea sandsifting
Birds sandshifting
The wind sanddrifting
but the grass....
sandstitching
*
SAILSTARRED SANDSIFTING SEAWEED-SCRIPTED SEA
*
Sail-starred, shell-shored, stream-swelled
sand-sifting, seaweed-scripted sibilant Sea
secedes silently, softly
Shadowed shallows sheathing scallops,
sheltering seals, shielding scuttling snails,
shrouding sharks. Sands shifting secrete starfish,
scampering shrimp.
Serene Sea supports Spanish scows, Sicilian
skiffs, Senegalese schooners, Seychelles ships,
Sardinian sculls.
Saltsmelling sailors see soaring shrieking
seagulls, striped sunrise, shining sunset,
shshshing surf.
Sudden surprising storm's symphonic sounds
slap shore shacks. Snows slip seaward, spring-subdued.
Soon sloop slides spiral sleep stairway.
because he has a crooked tooth
because he is tall and built
because he's short and frumpy
because he's bald
because he's a great fiance
because he's understanding
because he's kind
because he laughs with me
because he cries with me
because he empties the trash for me
because he leaves his dirty dishes in the sink
because he's comfortable when he's with me
because he listens
because he is resilient
because he is cunning
because he is so ugly in the morning and
it makes me feel prettier, and he doesn't even
care
because he farts and blames it on me
because he bails me out when i'm down in the dumps
because he has a dimple on one cheek only
because he has nice cheeks*** ;-)
because he smells good
because he has body odor
because he's smart
because he failed the driver's test 4 times in a week
because he dropped out of highschool
because he kissed my forehead when i needed it kissed
because he kissed my ass when i was being a bitch
because he outsmarts people
because he's a great fiance
because he's the best dad
because he's the best brother in the world
because he is the best friend i ever had
because he's obese
because he's not perfect
because he's perfectly himself
because he works hard
because he tries hard
because he never gives up
because he loves my cooking
because his hands fit perfectly on my waist
because he eats like a pig
because he snores
because he leaves the toilet seat down
because he hurt my feelings
because he loves me
because i love loving him
because he is a man

............
He was an odd man, who liked to hold his penis,
He always stayed with his aunt,
Never had a girlfriend,
And his mother used to clean for us.
Not particularly handsome,
He searched high and he searched low,
Girls liked him but they'd always say,
'You can't be holding your penis all day'.
One day he chopped it off,
And put it in a jar,
He found a girl to marry,
But their sex life never got far.
