Lagoon Poems

Bikini

1946 United States authorities
chose to exercise freedom of choice
and forcibly relocated 167 Marshall islanders
King Juda he agreed as their voice
from Bikini Atoll east to Rongerik
a small island which adequate resources lacked
with the promise they would return
so much for the U.S. Right of Freedom Act
and with little regard to radiation or fallout
the beautiful coral lagoon's sad

MOON ON A SPOON

MOON ON A SPOON 

If I could I would 
fetch you the moon 
on a spoon

Oh ? Really ! 
you ballyhoo coon
you make me swoon

If I could I would 
fetch you the moon 
on a spoon

Why not bring me 
a chocolate cocoon 
I will wriggle out 
festooned !

If I could I

Lyric Of The Lavender Lagoon

Aviating aspirations      
of effervescent incandescence 
spread psychic plasma
of primal sensual spectrum, 
painting the exuding exuberance 
of the indigo emotions 
on the convoluted sullen sky,      
fantasy configures with contours of memory
fascinating fresco
of the mental panorama,
suffused with halcyon hues
of sublime sensitivity  
embedded in exalted ecstasy, 

Gloomy Lagoon On A Foggy Day

No gondolas are gliding under bridges, 
it's a lagoon without classic songs;
pigeons are huddled and do not coo, 
they're frightened by the murky blue!  

Carlo sings some lovely Neapolitan songs,
tourists sing along with him and smile;
they all dream of sunny Southern skies,
of another distant city they admire and love!

Venice sinks in direful sadness lowering

Lilac Lagoon

Sprawling aspiration 
effervescent incandescence 
spreads psychic plasma
of primal spectrum 
painting passion 
on the silken sky
the configured
fascinated facsimile
of mental panorama
suffused with chromatic 
sublime sensitivity  
of exuberant ecstasy 
blooming in
seraphic color blast
of floral spring  

Parched pieces
draped by distress dust 
of cinnamon ground 
heart desiccates 
to the core 
auburn anguish
pervading passive
creeps craftily
in the wilted veins 
of

LOVERs LAGOON

segment of the sun
lemandarin, semi-black
‘midst toasty branches
floats flamingos, flaming pink
in lagoon’s brackish parquet


*hybrid between mandarin orange and lemon

Colourful Fall

Walking on colourful leaves,
      fall brings back long sleeves.
    The lazy sun goes to bed early,
     while the morning fresh wind 
     caresses the wet grass softly.

Whispers of the Halcyon Lagoon

Written: June 20, 2023

______________________________________________________________

Within the depths of an opulent lagoon,
Where the waters dance to a mellifluous tune,
A harbinger of joy, a scintilla of light,
Unfolds a tale of halcyon delight.

In this serene oasis, a haven of peace,
Where time metamorphoses and worries cease,
The lilt of laughter fills the air.
A pastiche of colors beyond compare.

As the sun paints

While On Lagoon Would See the Moon

while on a lagoon
stirred my coffee with a spoon
while seeing the moon

Manatee Lagoon

We went to Manatee Lagoon
But it was not quite opportune 
For if there was a manatee,
It wasn’t there for us to see.

To make the best of getting there,
An hour’s drive to who-knows-where,
We took some pictures (smile, please!)
Beside some sculptured manatees.

So looking back, those photos will
Remind me that we can fulfill
Some journeys that we undertake
With memories

Lagoon Of Salted Men

Lagoon of life, lake of man
Bitterness in life, salt of man.
Sourness or sweetness, salt of the tongue
Harvest of the young, actions of man

Sourness of tongue, sweetness of the stung
Sweetness of the unsung, sourness of the dung.
Bitterness of man, life's crucifix
Burden of follies, puff of the lung

Burden of life, crux of crucifix
Flux of follies, marks of

Seaweed Chains

Washed by tides, tangle inevitable, 
   Lurking licking tongues, tiger whisker weed
   Undercurrent gritty slippery tendrils -
   Barb trusting toes with camouflaged cat creed
   

   Wet predator paws apply pressure
   Leeching life from faithful feet, farcical
   Undulating grass, salty claws sever

Sand Dune Lagoon

Lake Wollumboola is intermittent.
A coastal dune lagoon, enclosed by berm of sand.
Its basin a drowned creek-scoured depression.
This tiny lake is perched above high tide, vulnerable.
Its survival lies at the whim 
of wind-blown and sea-thrown sand.
It's long term fate short-lived as its filling up 
with sediment, weed, detritus and muck.

This little lagoon among the dunes
is mecca

Lagoon

lagoon
rock and sand 
lock an ocean... 
hand in hand two lovers
walk free.

The Lotus Lagoon

In Amida’s Pure Land
There is a sea of blue,
And upon its tranquil hue
Adorn millions of lotuses,
Each gleaming with a
Growing dream,
A dream for Bodhi,
And blooming Samadhi!
