John Posey Poet Haiku

Seashore Symphony

As fiddler crabs play
There’s no music in the air
Ugly eyes just stare

Gulls in perfect flight
Bring the music to the night
Moonlight plays its part

Dolphins come around
And they lend their perfect sound
Music time is near

Maestro needed now
Sounds need direction somehow
Errant tones comply

Sounds that do not blend
Are now blocked by friendly wind
Unity now reigns

Masters touch is here
Softens harshness to the ear
Song is written now

Blessed voices play
As rhythmic surf shows the way
Sweet repose is near.

Question why I’m here
And I’ll tell you right away
My troubled soul is now healed.

Kelly Deschler September 9, 2013 at 7:29 PM As I was reading this I had a picture in my mind of someone holding a seashell to their ear, to here the sound of the ocean waves...Beautiful imagery in this poem! I enjoyed reading it!....You might like to read one of my new poems titled, "Tale Of A Mermaid".

Debbie Knapp June 4, 2013 at 6:08 PM Something about the sea brings peace and inner beauty can grow. The sound and sights along with the smell that comes with the waves soothes the soul. A place you can always go and remember too. John Posey June 4, 2013 at 6:19 PM Thank you, Debbie. Your comments are appreciated.... Jake
