My haiku habit (week 6)

 

A day in the life of an AB*

Going on standby
The anchor is soon to drop
Orders come from bridge.

(AB= able body)


Waiting with(out) patience

We wait for two days
Being at anchor costs nerves
Only blues and white.


A Monarch on deck

Butterfly is lost
The wind carries it away
Towards Mexico.

Pastoral tranquillity (almost)

A moder setting
Where Vikings one reigned
Sheep, grass, and windmills.


Work-clothes locker room talk

Do they never stop
It’s been a helluva week
Wow, WTF, sheesh.


Optical illusion

Looking far ahead
A ship is heading our way
Oops, it’s an oil rig.



Warming up my cabin

Cold winds, raining wet decks
I dance to Cuban music
My hips are happy.
