Coastal Poems - Poems about Coastal

Beneath the sun-kissed sky of Coastal California's domain, Where Pacific waves meet the land, an eternal refrain. Golden shores stretch along the rugged terrain, A canvas painted with nature's utmost pertain. Majestic cliffs rise with stoic grace, Overlooking the ocean's vast embrace. Seagulls glide on the breeze, a ballet in the air with grace As the salty mist weaves tales without balance. Beneath...

The sky is gray, as far as the eye can see. At midday, no light filters through. The drab color, reflects upon the sea. An enveloping cloud of filmy gray hue.

The clarinet waves touched the moon. He walked like a rooster in the moonlight, bewitched by the music and the light. The caparisoned elephants swayed their heads to the drumbeats.

The acrid smell is gone replaced by seaweed and salt The crows have returned in the early mornings Cawing and butting walnuts on the roof Neighbors hide their cats — for quiet coyotes are hungry Orphaned baby mountain lions are cuddled in rescue wraps Horses put down, wildlife gone, Eyes keep alert looking at...
