Sebastopol

Poem:  Sebastopol

Where
lighthouse 
rays

shine
on
seagull wings -

Where
the 
misty

morning 
dew -

beckon

foghorns
to
sing -

where sky's 
are
green;

Oceans too -

Where 
fishermen 

stretch 

tall 
stories 

the whole
day 
through -

Where 
clouds adrift 

with 
snow white 
hue -

Where
baby's breath....
Breathe,

like
winter frost,

On roses 
in 
bloom -

Where 
Pond Lily's 

are 
turquoise,

and 

Polliwogs 
are 
blue -

Where 
old men 

still plow 
the 
land

behind 
working mules -

This
Is
Sebastopol 

A
Barefoot 
Town

Yellow 
as
Sunflowers 

Sweet 
as
grapes

on
the vine -

And Sebastopol is the town my sister lives in! In Sonoma County, California, right? ;)
