Keith D Trestrail Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

From a Deck Chair

Into the mystic and blue water purl
  I watch in motion season’s changing guard,
and rising ocean drafts its far depths swirl
  up silica sandstone cliffs steeped and scarred.
Where silver eucalypts shadow the sea,
  and apple blossom in pink clusters soon
shed soft petals till fruit hangs from its tree -
  and chrysalis to butterfly cocoon.
Hear the honey bees and songbirds’ refrain
  as the September sun over Torbay
invites perennial chorus again -
  and new buds open upon a new day.
From my deck chair I’ll kick back tomorrow 
when spring’s bow lets fly El Nino’s arrow.


             Written: September 1995
