Premium Member The Taker
With an oar and a long boat Down river goes the deal maker, Ferrying another soul afloat ... For I am their taker ... Black cloak 'round my shoulder Two coins in my bony hand, I bring the younger or older Off to a more distant land Paddling waters, still and gray Done a million times or more, Candle and lantern to light my...

Premium Member Ferry Beach Transformations
What did I take away from summer camp? Not COVID this year, nor the clap of one hand ringing. But, instead a more resilient health of authentic sacred wealth TransFormative dance singing integrity's great synergetic bromance. Polyphonic men mind and body embracing polypathic gods re-imaging polytheistic goddesses engaging all us in-between communal transubstantiations. My own spirited mind and strong natured body transition has not been solely limited by Others' lack of win/win imagination But also, perhaps primarily and...

Ferry Interesting
“I wish the ferry had a fairy,” said Phoebe with a frown to no one in particular (but everyone remembered later on). That’s a strange thing to say on an excursion in Year 5, especially when the teachers are around. Eating hot chips on the seat just up from me, a skinny man avoids my longing stare (Those chips of...

Premium Member Ferry Man Elf
Ferry man elf rode in on a stream From the River Styx, or at least it seemed…. We were a tiny bit afraid of this elf so gray. He had appeared suddenly on this somber day. Do you think he’s here to collect? Someone asked. It would be mean, and it’s such an awful task! We did not know, but we...

From Killed Kerry To Cheating Jerry
She remembered where she’d met Jerry. It had been on a moving ferry, She journeying to rejoin Kerry, With whom life was mostly merry. But Kerry Gangsters would soon bury, Seal it and there shan’t be Query! He had their rules broken with Terry; A loss and she’d kept drinking Perry And on Not-Stewed Rice: Beri-Beri… No more appetite for Sweet Cherry And rather little...

Premium Member The Ferry Boat Ride
He was a young man traveling lightly with nothing much to carry but his dreams and wide-eyed wonder and a ticket for a ferry Ride, across a river wide that meandered like nothing real while looking for rhyme and reason to come alive and learn to deal With whom and what he was inside, deeper than the skies he would soon...

Premium Member Safe At Last
You left me stranded on a beach. Alone. I don't feel safe without you. I crossed a bridge onto a new beach looking for safety but none was there. I wandered aimlessly over sand dunes bewitched by your memory. Seeing your face, I traced your smile in the sand to feel safe again but I didn't. Your voice...

Berry and Cherry
As we gobble berry And devour cherry The heart is merry Towards Bliss on a ferry For Jerry and Kerry And for Perry and Terry As we indulge berry And mouths cram with cherry Disappointments we bury And our woes the dreary Then, a reply that shouldn’t me weary: Where’s my promised berry And guaranteed cherry?...

Hurry, hurry, don't miss the ferry That takes you up to Londonderry They are having their annual fair You'll hear them sing Londonderry Air.

Premium Member The Lights and the Silos
an hour before docking it was ice cold and freezing as the vessel, like scissors cut clean through the swell and the ship’s horn then sounded and woke those still sleeping startling the standing and the seagulls as well and the door opened outwards on a windswept and dark deck as a lighthouse and headland appeared to our right and the radar was turning mixing mist with...
