BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, A Letter to Daniel
By Curtis Johnson

Hi Daniel,

There once was a man living high on a mountain whose name was Harry
Mt. St. Helen was threatening  to blow its top, and everyone started to...

Can we wander without moving?
I’ve found the way and guide you to take a look.
As we’re wandering from the land we known
Wandering, hoping to find our freedom
we don’t know where we’ll find a home of...

Wild, wild, the spring tide reaches the rivers height;
Strong, strong, the spring tide rolls on and on.
Glittering, glittering, the full moon rises into the sky bright;
Strong, strong, the moon spreads on the waves, on the...

moonlight kiss on a moderate summer evening
rocking chair amazement as the waves crash 
hot cinnamon roll panera vibe butter drenched
melting in my mouth merging with the sweetness of her warm kiss
gulls migrating dancing and smiling...

i don't go to the beach anymore
my emotions go insane when i think of the bloody footprints in the sand
the wrong decisions made are like half my body eaten by sea carnivores

We clad ourselves in colors as we march,
saluting independence through a foggy dream;
gazing at the night alight with flashes,
sparkles,
and firefly screams.

Rockets made in China, cascade/
to the backdrop of the Star Spangled Banner;
a flutter to the...

Social Media is raving about my seafood haven.
Any ocean gift you wish is on my menu list.
It is known for chocolate bliss in any form that exists.

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: I Am Venice
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: May/2014


I am
Venice -

I am
a 
west coast

oceanfront 
town -

I am 
the one

who
sing
and dance,

on the 
boardwalk -

And
I'm 
the one

who fly's
kites

roller skate,
fish
and surf -

I am
a
muralist,

I  paint
pictures
of
legends

on 
the city
walls -

I'm a
greeter

that
waves
to
visitors,

I say
welcome,

whether 
you're

large, tall
big 
or 
small -

I am
Venice;

every color
in 
the rainbow...

When life begins to open up
Relieving you of all tribulations
Blood circulating in free zone
Like rivers at night
Doing it with affection
As they feed oceans without complain
From spring to summer, autumn to winter,
Taking along all love messages...

"one fine night"

do you remember the night that one fine night
starting as a three hour tour lasting endlessly
witnessing the sun then the moon and sun once more
never expecting our happy place to reveal her all
mesmerized...

If I were a different person,
I’d give up a lot of my cursin’.
My prospects would brighten, not worsen;
If I were a different soul.

If I had a penchant for money,
I’d subsist on quenelles cooked with honey.
My...
