Long Beaching Poems

On 11-28-2015, Hurricane Ben, slammed off the shores of Sydney Australia,
Its tremendous waves beaching the second largest shark in the world today,
Colossus, killing him on impact, his remains were taken to the eco science
Lab, nearby...

Humpback beauties call to their young
Communicating to calves so precious 
Don't be so immediately audacious
You can wander, just don't go too long

Blubberous parents are there to keep them close
For companionship, warmth and learning 
Send each...

High Tide Returns

Once he sailed the fast Clipper of his heart
A mariner over blessed waves
Once on a fathom sea of womanhood
He drew water 
To each compass point in her eyes
His sails were prayers 
Laid in...

What did I do today!
By Stanley Russell Harris
The new mad author
& A Poetry Soup honourably mentioned poet

I looked on the Facebook BBC News.

We are all of us crazy…
Mad in passions like a mystic forest 
Where flowers swat away at bees
And trees refuse to grow past crippled bushes
With fields of roses painting themselves black
And streams beaching misplaced whales

Pebbles tumble, 
to the shore, 
my thoughts tumble, 
my heart, 
sore 

My thoughts, 
my very core, 
are like driftwood, 
beaching gently on the shore 
Thes new things, 
what's it all for? 

Rush of noisy white...

Global warming has fueled climate change;
the ice sheets at both poles are melting fast,
as oceans and deserts increase their range.

Whales and porpoises beaching, sad and strange,
nearing extinction, perhaps they're the last;
global warming has fueled climate...

The leaves are dead
The birds are dying
Fish are lying
Trying to catch their breaths
On the shores of the world

On unknown beaches 
Deaf dolphins and whales 
Gasp in polluted waters
Beaching themselves trying to live

Land creatures are having...

My sinking feet feel the brush of sand below warm salty foam 
as water's flowing rush retreats with sounds of many tumbled stones.
Sand clouds churn by water's turn and ankles wrap in sea grass tangles.

 On bowride below gentle titans peep
   ghost ships of the Pacific hunt and chase -
 great barnacled seafarers of the deep
   beneath the waves its clear blue waters grace.

beaching…

the rhythmic waves
frothing to and from
carry middle passage echoes
of journeying odysseys

the setting sun severs
the umbilical link

reflecting grains of sand
catch crystallizing tears
of memories of faded shores

the bleeding breeze blows
sea seasoned whispers

Around the globe its message can be heard

Northern winters harbor harshness.
Freezing confetti and sun lit bottlecap.
Snow angels can never warm the backs 
of cinderblock children and gray eyed cats.

Northern winters push the hobbled hobos...toward the equator.
To nibble the candied ribbons of warmth.
