Carl, it sounds as if you haven't located R. Nemo Hill's
Magellan's Reveries? I think they're excellent.

You mention FB being blocked which made me wonder if other sites might be blocked where you are as well....For that reason, I've pasted a sample poem from the book site here.
~ Third Reverie of Magellan ~ R. Nemo Hill
Men who bring no tools with which to serve.
Men whose desperate oath is: ‘We will serve’.
Dried and salted. Blistered until brittle.
Boiled in lye and weevil. Casked. Preserved.
Bastard son of a slave of a nameless ship’s cook!
‘Your beard stinks of the smoke of those who serve!’
The psalms of the orphaned, who turn the half-hourglass:
‘Water. Sand. God of our Time, we serve.’
Praise barber’s pelican, red wine and oakum,
turpentine, quince jelly, pitch. All serve.
Castilian, Basque, Sicilian, Português,
‘Al cuarto! Al cuarto!’ ‘On deck! On deck!’—to serve.
Ass-back to the railing, bowel’s exposed
to all—. Leviathan, your dinner’s served!
We teach the rats to dance on dead calm nights.
Which man believes he gets what he deserves?
At last you’ve won your reeking ship, Magellan,
this tub of vinegar your rage would serve.
