Small Mutinies
"Small Mutinies"
So what if my point of view
is not that which wraps
you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky
cashmere blankets
of insecure insincerity
simple scribbles
bleating from the
chirping crickets
and frog croaking
symphonies
muddying waters
cutting pristine lines...

Black Armada
Icy seas engulf the setting sun. Fisherman turn their boats to shore, bellies full, their murderous day is done. Scores of frightened eyes stare to darkened skies in search of help that will...

Passionate Hours At Palolem Sands Goa
I glimpse the tidal waves, rise high,
Sweaty brows drip, a dry.
surf boarders and dipper are so many,
dolphin rides touts coerce you for just a few penny.
red vested lifeguards always on their toes,
A breath of...

Him Too, Or the Drowning Femenist, Part I
Dylan Carston was a well-off young man,
thanks to a large and health trust fund,
his father was a true Wall Street ace
and had been quite generous to his sons.
Dylan had set himself up in Miami

Summers Everlasting
Sand in sheets
scuffing skin and reminding
last nights attire reaks like bonfire
a hundred days like this
a sea of endless laughs rolling
like filmreels infinitely looped...

A Poetic Retelling (Very Unfortunate)
This is a poetic retelling of an athletic
Event (a race)
That breathtaking
Nerve racking
Repetition
On a circle (tiring)
I don’t dream of things like this
Unless I’m an insomniac
I don’t deny that’s what I want
(because) it’s wretched
I don’t deny...

Sandy the Sandman - Frosty the Snowman parody
Sandy the Sandman.
Was a super duper dude.
With a surfboard pack and a seashell nose
and two eyes made out of food.
Sandy the Sandman.
Would always love to play.
He was made of sand,
but the lifeguards know
how he came...

Summer Fun - the Beach Story
The seashore is a wondrous stage, for in the sun's delight,
I sit and watch a play unfold- it's there within my sight!
Those beauties, young with golden tans, demurely sashay by
In search of those admiring eyes...

Farewell To Summer
As I look outside I see,
the setting sun behind the trees
This summer day is ending now
The season too will soon be gone.
Summer days again have passed
But the memories will last
Until again the solstice comes
And...

The Watermark
“The Watermark”
Black halos fall at my feet
like the Sun’s shadows kneeling
on beds of imperfect pearls in salvage prayer
scorching the past with its unspoken words
into a new day, the tattoos written sting
and...

Riding it right up to the shore, but not...

That Sinking Feeling
Murky sea this day as she wades chest deep
Battling strong waves with every step
No other swimmers, no lifeguards, no sun
Nary a gull on the beach so windswept
Solitude is her preference, she floats
Closes her eyes, attempts...

Seaside Serenade
Wind and sea and waves and sun
sand in toes as day is done
Seagulls glide, sandpipers run
young dad splashes with his son
Breakers rise, translucent teal
lifeguards poised as...

My Tropical Visit
The air is cold with skies of multi-grays
as snowflakes fall and paint a wintry scene.
I think of summer warmth and fun-filled days;
yet many winter days must pass between.
But not for me! You see I...

Along the Shore
The palm trees in the distance line the shore.
Each night small boats are moored among the trees.
I’ve seen the boys come in and tie the boats,
their fishing done offshore beyond the keys.
The tide...

People Who Help Us
There are many people who help us,
They help in many different ways,
They help people of all ages,
And people of all abilities.
Farmers grow food for us,
Carers help people who can’t manage...

In a World Gone Mad
This summer I lost all respect
for our modern youth.
Apparently they have been raised
that the end justifies the means
and that individual responsibility
is a virtue of dubious value.
So when they wanted to get me fired
because I...

A Summer Memory
Summer Memories of Long Ago
(for Frank Herrara's Summer Memory Contest)
Playing stickball in the schoolyard
Roller skating with my friends
Playing hide and seek
Wishing vacation never ends
Saturday at the movies
Where you couldn't hear a word
As Flash Gordon flew...

The Beach
You walk along the sandy beach
And you taste the salted air
You step on very tiny shells
As the wind blows through your hair
The ocean splashes on your feet
As your baking in...

Bone Beach
Great surfing you may not have guessed
can be found in the upper northwest.
In a full rubber suit
the great whites think looks cute,
the dawn patrol shreds the gnar best.
Seems the beaches were starting to groan;

Satire-Read the Warning Signs
There's a potential fine line
between SAFETY AND DANGER...
go to the beach to swim safely,
never stray too far from the lifeguards.
There's a conflicting fine line
between LIE AND TRUTH...

Age
Run to the seashore
collect shells
build sand castles
laugh
Sand in your toes
flip-flop footprints
deep in the sand
smiles
That baby
grows older
No more
childish laughter
Run in the waves
bring friends
with you
Poke dead jellyfish
pick up tiny crabs
feel slippery seaweed
in between your fingers
That toddler
grows too
frown...

Summer Fun
Bountiful castles with walls of sand
Each grain an intricate part
Albatross squawk in high demand
Con morsels from those with soft hearts
Hot bodies bask in the blazing sun
Bikinis boast dangerous curves
Lifeguards patrol tanned to well done
As...

Auburn Shades
August twilight, dog days
Summer languishes, soon to go
Auburn shades fade to grey
The pool is so warm that nobody stays
Past ten AM, lifeguards wait to close
In the August twilight, the dog days.
Distant images...
