Long Cause for concern Poems

Part 3

They quickly learned... there was cause for concern

A Storm is brewing, quietly churning above.
Residents working to prepare a town tradition.
Mobilizing able citizens, attempts to guarantee success.
A hundred year tradition, the town's shining gem
Times are changing, still they cling to the past.
As if...

Through maritime miles of minions and mirth
My life is a wash for the sake of my birth
My song is the surf and my sigh is the sea
Oh what can be done for the dreamer in...

By a mysterious twinkle in an all perceiving eye
A form energetic gentle breathing
The grand consummation of design
Ignited by universal dreaming
	
Enchanted stars into their life giving
The dance conceptual
The ballet between
Principals masculine and feminine

These consorts of the...

Thru maritime miles of meals and mates
I posed as a pirate for polishing plates
For singing a song of the surf and the sea
I traded my turf for a tempest of tea

I had to be strong...

You may have become an unstoppable force 
in the lands you have conquered who have lost their resource, 
no longer fighting at this time they evacuate shores,

Adventures to find
Skipping to the beat
Of a patterned mind

Follow the line
Never step on the crack
The crevices will reveal
Wanton lack

By condo fence
Bird choir melody;
Song of July


Marriage banquet
Hosts in finery;
Guests and feast sparkle


Gratitude speaks
Spilling fond banter;
Bride and groom delight


Distant laughter

Ears on the prowl


See moments crisp
Potato chips tasty;
TV sitcom drama 


Evening comes around
Rare red...

Like roses,
They’re soft and delicate,
With thorns, 
They’re ready to prick

Like a butterfly,
Their transformations are unique,
Beautiful
Like a dog 
Loyalty is key
Like a beaver, 
Their work ethic...

The angels among us,
The ones that we can see
We call them friends, lovers or family.
They are there when we don’t know we need them at all.
To guide us, love us or simply watch us fall.
