Harbor Town Man

Carved from pine Rugged, but divine Timeless Even-though from an earlier time Resolute face Weathered and without grace Red and blushed Sunburned or whiskey flushed? Long coat open and flowing Every work inspired wrinkle is showing Brown and down to knees For a harbor town man, if you please. Hands in pocket of baggy pants Taking a job well done stance Red sweater takes away the chill Insulation to keep from getting ill Upon his head lies newsboy style cap of blue While he peers at his town’s ocean view He will not walk away A harbor town man he’ll stay By: Richard J. Long February, 2012
