Who doesn’t love reading tales about swashbuckling pirates; shipwrecked survivors; discoverers of new lands? As children we are encouraged to read this sort of thing and we absorb it all – but as we get older there seems to be less chance to do so. Well, now there is! We have gathered up the finest poems about adventure that we could find, to help you escape from the mundane for even just a little while. Having the adventures yourself is the dream, but in the absence of this then reading about it is the next best thing.
Poems about adventure can really invoke the open road, or make you feel the sea breeze ruffle your hair, or travel you back centuries to find lost civilisations, or even take you on a treasure hunt to wild and distant shores.
Whatever your idea of adventure is, you are sure to stumble across it in this collection, and take yourself off into the wild blue yonder for as long as you like.
Reading poetry can be incredibly absorbing; if you find one that you connect with it can feel as though you never want to stop reading it – especially if it’s about exciting things that you don’t do in real life!

With Friends
Author: S. Ellis
There once was a group of friends so bold
They loved to go on adventures, young and old
They traveled far and wide
On a wild adventure ride
Their bond growing stronger, as they unfold
The world's secrets and mysteries, they sought
Their adventures, a love that could not be bought
They faced every challenge, with love and might
Their spirits soaring, as they took flight
Adventures with friends, a bond so true
A journey that fills their hearts and souls
They take on the world, hand in hand
Their love for adventure, forever grand
So let us all embrace adventure with friends
For the joy and happiness it brings
May it lead us on a wild ride
A love that will forever abide
Death
Author: E. Powers
Adventure and death, a love so wild
A journey that takes us on a bumpy ride
We face the unknown, with courage and grace
Our spirits soaring, as we embrace
The adventures that come our way
We embrace the unknown, each and every day
But death is always lurking near
A reminder of life's fragile atmosphere
A love that must be faced with courage and might
Our spirits soaring, as we take flight
Adventure and death, a balance of forces
A love that we must embrace, of course
So let us embrace adventure and death
For the joy and pain they bring
May they lead us on a wild ride
A love that will forever abide
