Gunturk Ustun Poems

Constantly stuck inside of some
Dazzling Mediterranean cruise plans
...

1

Dear fellow maritime enthusiasts
Let us raise our glasses
...

1

Sea creatures are my friends
Sea vessels are my siblings
...

1

There are no nameless ships
If there are, they should quickly be named
...

The Mediterranean is an indispensable part of the globe
We have to believe in it and protect them both

The Mediterranean is a natural wonder
...

1

More poet than musician
More musician than novelist
...

1

Provided that is exceptionally sharp-witted
Perhaps only AI is able to empathize properly
...

1

A cool breeze rustles gently among the olive trees
Cheerful crickets chatter loudly, a train horn blares in the distance
...

1

Some finished and unfinished poems
By dead maritime poets
...

1

On a summer table, a slice of lemon cheesecake
In the company of a mug of black tea with lemon
...

1

Precious Mediterranean
I sincerely salute you from the dephts of my mind
...

1

Piers are stationary
Commuter ferries are in motion
...

1

If there were no ferry
It would be almost impossible
...

1

With love
With alcohol
...

1

When the weather turns
Unexpectedly cold at night
...

1

Seas, ships
And mariners
...

1

Car ferries
Have been promoted
...

1

When you find it
Hard to haul
...

1

The secretive Mediterranean
Perhaps a sage, perhaps not
...

The Best Poem Of Gunturk Ustun

Mediterranean Meditations-1

1

Constantly stuck inside of some
Dazzling Mediterranean cruise plans
For another uncertain summer or autumn
Luckily, dreaming is always free of charge and harmless
So is writing short and sincere maritime poetry

2

I long to lose
My humble being
In the azure looks
Of my beautiful and brainy woman
While the peaceful
Sardinian morn is still young

3

Imbatto
You don't need a nicknmae
All you need is
To be a sensual lady's moniker
And that's perfectly cool
Imbatto
