Seafarer Poetry | Ocean-Inspired Contemporary Poems

About the Book

What if the objects around you could feel, think, and speak?

Seafarer Poetry (Depth in Metres) is a deeply imaginative and emotionally rich collection of 51 poems that brings the unseen world of a seafarer to life. Through unique personification of everyday shipboard objects and moments, the book transforms ordinary experiences into powerful reflections.

Each poem carries the rhythm of the sea—sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent—mirroring the emotional journey of life at sea.

Inside this book, you will discover:

• A rare glimpse into the life of a seafarer through poetic storytelling
• Unique personification of shipboard objects like helmets, railings, and mugs
• Emotions of loneliness, humor, love, and longing at sea

This is not just poetry—it’s an experience that lets you feel the ocean, the silence, and the stories it holds.
