Sigrid Ermine Poet Rhyme

Mangrove Disco

Khaki lapped mangroves, sun bouncing transferred
Journeys bright flashes along branches texture
Conveyerbelt spot lights glide, bright pattern superb
Bath tidal shallow travels water's gold reflection 

High heat subdued by horse tail tassled foliage
Sea loving pine hung in bunches, long drapes swung
Salty silt bed rigid roots drink in river knowledge
Steady light slide show rhythms calm dance among

Hectic city spectacle, hulk forty storey bulk surly
Gaped naked windows glare against cement facade
Dominate diminished dunes, emit shadows early 
Rough road map arms umbrella mangroves in mirage

A million miles distance gifted in fifty metre gap
Delicate crescent of white sand, best spot on globe
Display of unreal critters crawl warm yellow sap
Dappled place of sanctuary spurs disco bulb strobe




          25th September 
      Gold Coast, Australia

Lindsay Laurie October 1, 2020 at 4:36 PM Hello Sigrid … nicely described indeed Sigrid. Mangroves should always be protected as they are the nursery for sea life - thank you Sigrid - Lindsay

Gershon Wolf September 30, 2020 at 8:29 PM I am reaching out to Lindsay Laurie right now. He's a real Aussie; he's just got to read this super-descriptive write. You've really brought the Gold Coast to pulsating life, Sigrid. Thanks, Gershon Sigrid Ermine September 30, 2020 at 10:00 PM Gee, sure it's not terribly worthy, just a mangrove moment. Thanks for your sweetness, Gershon...

John Watt September 25, 2020 at 2:26 PM These images keep flashing not unlike a disco ball and strobe light... so much observation filtered through your abundant imagination. Love you alliterations, especially "Dominate diminished dunes". While many of us are bemoaning the end of summer, you are celebrating the beginning of spring - I raise a toast to your fabulous poetry and a terrific spring down under! Sigrid Ermine September 25, 2020 at 3:27 PM Hi John. Yes, as mundane a topic it is, while on holiday, it teams with lighheartedness. Thank you for reading.
