Short Chesapeake Poems

In your penmanship I sail away~
Words as deep as the Chesapeake Bay
keep me afloat by their perfect array
as I sway to the notes that they play.

A loyal collie on Chesapeake Bay
worked for his keep—if he wanted to stay
But when told: Hurry, you slob!
he laid down on the job
dreaming of running through meadows all day

there was an old flounder named May
who lived in the Chesapeake Bay
each day was a test
and he considered himself blessed
if he survived being made catch of the day

a scourge across the land of the free
  darkness brooding in Mar-a-Lago
    and brewing in Chesapeake Bay

fear surrounds the man who

One day I’ll play in the Chesapeake Bay
On a boat I’ll lay soaking up sun rays
Sunscreen I’ll spray U.V. rays turn away
Catch a fish I’ll pray possibly display
A fish mouth I’ll splay possibly filet
A good day I’ll say in Chesapeake Bay...

If I drink any more coffee I will float away
I will travel down the river next to Chesapeake Bay
Can you bring me my waders somewhere along the way?
I would like to catch some bass before the end of the day
I will be the old lady hollering “Hey! Hey! Hey!”
I promise I will do you a solid some other day.
Uh-oh. Too much coffee. I simply can’t stay….....

Crystal clear blue waves kiss
the sands of Chesapeake Bay. 
We walk in gentle silence 
lost in the magic of yesterday.			
I must leave you soon, my love,
circumstance won’t let me stay,
the lonesome lullaby of the loon
echoes our dismay.
One lingering kiss, one final glance,
no words can ever say
for you have yours, I have mine, 
no promises  past  today.
Where the waters greets the sky,
my heart yearns to run away,
in my dreams I'll be here with you,
sharing our love on Chesapeake Bay....
