My Seashore

The mornings’ sleepy yawn awakes I arise from bed as she breaks Seafarer Trees bend to wind in mock salute With coffee to porch I do scoot By seaside Salt air swirls a foggy retreat While sounds of the ocean keeps beat In seashell Shifting sands hold time in a grain Spoken upon waves constant reign Of seacoast The days grace an ancient trade route With love of beauty absolute My seashore

Clever repetition of 'sea' variations. A pleasure to find your delightful poem published in the 2020 PS Anthology, Jeanne ~

Hi Sandy, it's so good to be back...I'm only 2 blocks from the beach and can't even go sit on the seawall to watch the waves...we are in total lock down here in Mexico too. I'm glad I could bring a bit of the seashore to you.
