penguinscott Posted May 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
