Poems inspired by my recent sailing on Legend

I recently sailed on the Star Legend on an East-bound transatlantic crossing. It was one of the best cruises I've ever been on. It inspired me to write poetry, a few I was asked to share. I hope you enjoy.

Star Legend

by Penguin Scott

I sailed aboard a ship

A star and legend of the seas

I sailed aboard a luxury yacht

One hundred-thirty passengers and me

The captain and his staff in white

Put us all at ease

The crew on board took good care of us

They really aimed to please

In morning- midday- and at night

We had a feast to eat

With meals that went down oh, so right

And desserts that were so sweet

There were musicians with many a song

Who daily would play and sing

We smiled and danced and clapped along

For the cheer that they would bring

When the ship arrived at port

I started feeling sad

As I thought about the friends I’d met

And the good times that I had

I would end every night with a stroll on the upper decks, looking out to sea, watching the clouds pass under what was a full moon when we left, and got smaller and rose later each night. Some nights we had many clouds, and others there were hardly any. Aside from the lights on the very vessel on which I traveled, there were none, other than the stars above...and Jupiter. I loved the gentle rise and fall of the ship, the wind in my hair, the cool, salty air. I don’t know why I don’t cruise more often.

At Sea

No lights anywhere

No shore to be seen

No ships on the horizon

Twas a dark and barren scene

The moon danced behind the clouds

That passed by overhead

The stars were out in fields of black

The ocean before me spread

Feel the wind that blows me now

Feel the salt water air

Feel the shudder of engine props

That take from me my cares

I love to be on board a ship

As she sails across the water

I love the constant moving about

I love being a globe trotter

Excellent! Any cruiser can relate and appreciate. Thanks for sharing

Very nice indeed. Will be on my first Windstar cruise in late August. :)

Nice poems! Congratulations...
