If My Ancestor Boarded The Titanic
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

If he had boarded the frail proud lady,
My ancestor would have been a hysteric.
It would have been nothing new to him, though —
Boarding such a mighty vessel
With an unsinkable testimonial.
He had been on board Noah’s ark
For more than 40 days and 40 nights —
The first-ever lockdown in the first-ever
Flood pandemic.
He would have consulted an oracle before boarding

Sunburst Horizons
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

A ship sails upon coolly placid waters,
Into the sunset of many pastel colors,
Reflected in patches on deep blue seas,
Quite matching the skies' royal blue!
In the days of sun sea color and wind,
Into a hued horizon, soon it will blend.
Freedom and joy are not too far behind,
As purple martins follow warmer seasons.
Sun yellow to peach to orange pink red,
Drifting to sweet dreams on a watery bed!

The Octopus
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Having just finished me tour of duty...
Been at sea for over a year...
I needed a pint of whiskey...
And a romp or two with me dear...

She saw me enter the parlor...
I fell in love with her on first sight...
She dragged me upstairs to her bedroom...
To love me long into the dark night...

Sailor Boy
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Fearless sailor boy, the wide open seas are calling,
As the whistles of thrushes, when no one is talking.
Royal destiny and daring, has led you here this day,
And deep thirst for adventure, will sweep you away!

Always your heart has known, one day you'd set sail,
Into the golden horizon, where contentment prevails;
But the tears you leave behind, has caused you sighs,
Someday you'll be returning, as true love never dies!

Aurora Blue Sea
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

magic skies blue sea
beautiful lights are trailing
sailing at midnight

colors everywhere
time's come to the mellow hour
when all dreams flower

glory of nighttime
absent sun spreads such splendor
