Parade of Feathers
no bands formed, no marshal led
this was a unique parade for birds instead
all dressed up in their colorful wardrobe
proudly representing their native abode
the great snowy egret so staunch and prim
was calling the flocks that were...

The Magic of the Beach
One reason we are drawn to slow walks along the beach…besides the beauty we are shown…is that every walk along the shore has a magic of its own.
Even though we may walk the same beach…may...

Twilight Haunt
TWILIGHT HAUNT
In the outskirt of the town ,
Beyond the dragon village,
Seperated by the green pond,
There a castle with two towers,
Wholesome in antiquity of age ,
Beyond the rotten four wheeled carriage.
Inhabited...

Sails Gliding On the Shimmering Sea
Sails gliding on the shimmering sea,
don't be hasty to engulf silence
as the chapel's choir engages in a spiritual oratorio praising Him;
an octave higher or lower brings
their inspirational hymn to a desired sound of felicity...

Avon by the Sea
I didn't pull my weight
The boss was really sore
He said "you're second rate
and I won't take it anymore."
He continued raving
On how I was misbehaving
Said my job was not worth saving
And so I...

Natures Nest
How beautiful the sounds, sights of nature
In the distance alarm call of a cuckoo,
beautiful sound of summer Tanager
Blackbirds hopping around getting in a stew,
Acrobatics of swallows, swifts, Martins,
Crows of the carrion, rooks, jackdaws, Raven
Cooing of...

The Lighthouse at Night
The lighthouse sits upon the desolate island shore
Slowly dilapidating as its pieces fall to the ocean floor
Seagulls and ospreys have made it their coastal home
As it sits unsafe in a place most would never...

harbor snow
I watch the harbor through the falling snow
the sky and sea form one vast, gray tableau
the sun is nothing but a weak, background glow
the scene draws me, as if hypnotically.
Five mile’s lighthouse warnings go unvoiced

Dreaming On a Life-Raft
Dream on a raft
A balsam raft, with a mast and a Latin sail, I built for amusement on summer days on the inner sea,
but I found myself too far from shore, daydreaming is dangerous,...

Kindly Inclining
(In the 17th century, when thinkers
were first getting to grips with gravity,
they named it "kindly inclining".)
Seeds adrift on water
coalesce:
fueled by affinity,
they form a community.
Last pearls of wine
combine:
electing against space,...

Collision In Ornithology
Birds are in conflict with man's technology
It's an epic collision for ornithology
To these noble creatures we owe an apology
We hear bird language, we hear their song
Marveling at the music, we mimic along
Birds on earth are...

Autumn's Goodbye
Upon amber aura autumn’s passions fly
In prairies, valleys, mountains up high
As golden, yellow, crimson winds sigh
Swirling, whirling, drifting merrily by,
Flaunting red tinges of sugar maple dye
On sepia hills where tangerine leaves vie
For lovers’ sights glued...

Cosmic Consequence
Seeing spirals of Andromeda's dish
flinging itself towards the Milky Way;
many billion stars stuck in divine drama.
Through Gaia Observatory's scope eyes -
seems like two Ospreys warring in the skies.
Yet yields colossal change, spun at light speeds.

Land of the Palms
Florida
To live on sand where brown pelicans glide
And blue heron spear fish in shallow marsh
To watch egrets harvest insects that hide
in long hot summers that are sometimes harsh
Eyes of alligators pierce water's surface
and rattlesnakes lay...

More Comorants
I
At Patuxent Refuge
Maryland's Fish & Wildlife Center
CASH LAKE boasted a few
Comorants
And more Ospreys

Across the Komani-Queenstown Route
We have our South African waterways
A string of tiny lakes and pools
Here Coots and Comorants coexist
In an otherwise tree-less place

Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor
Bah Habah is how they say it in Maine.
The cool summer breezes wash over the town.
Sailboats ride at rest waiting patiently at their moorings.
Lobstah fishermen load their traps, hoping for a prize haul.

To the Beach
Sky so unmarred this torrid day,
That, to the beach, let’s make our way!
To the beach, to the beach,
Where we’ll watch sea oats sway
And glad toddlers at play,
Where we’ll hear ospreys screech,
Lying clear of tide’s reach
Cooled...
