Point Cabrillo Lighthouse

Mendocino County’s nice place
Where lighthouse stands with added grace
Ships now avoid shoals coastal space
Lumber, goods for Casper city
Since Frisco’s quake stands on firm base
Faces ocean with a bold face

Coastal Ghosts

Coastal ghosts


Out of the foam 
when a mighty wave crashed ashore
came a pair of transparent 
horses
flying mane of course
They were last seen 
galloping 
upland where the mist
was settling for the evening

The 
infinite Ocean,

soothing
as a
coastal breeze.

Charmingly

mystical

like
the
deep blue

Premium Member Coastal Sunrise

Sun
Peering
O’er the sea.
Prismatic waves
Reflect painted sky.
Colorful ripples dance,
Pelican silhouettes glow
With halos of pink, orange, gold.
As the orb climbs higher in the sky,
Bright light casts its gleam as stars and moon fade

Sunset Advice

Sunset Advice

The sun was setting
in the small coastal town.
The advice he was getting
he wouldn't turn down.
"Ask her here, where Earth's arms open wide;
I promise she'll say yes and make a beautiful bride."

Spirit In the Sky

.                                   
                                         patchwork clouds of gold

                                       calm waters reflect Heaven

                                          coastal rocks watching

The Last Grave

As centuries pass
The seas advance 
To take away the land. 
Lost to the waves
The ancient graves 
Reside below the sand. 

Cliffs that crumble
Remains lay humble
Eroded by the brine. 
The final tomb
To meet the spume
Clings to the shoreline.

'merica

land of wheat’d plains
coastal eagles soaring
mountain divides
governed by you
forged through us
patterned on Ten
standing on giants
seeker of lions
laying with lambs
welcoming partners
spreading the dream
utopian borders
tucked in prayers

Premium Member The Message God's Sent

Floods coastal and inland
    Droughts across the world
  Rising temps, melting ice
    Tsunamis at us being hurled
 
  We clamor for climate action
    Searching in vain for consensus
  Yet we scoff at the message God's sent
     ~ Time for us all to repent

Premium Member Treasures At Sunup

On dawn skies, peaches
drifting by sable shadows
at coastal sand dunes
Precious gold between my toes
Blue roses on the wild sea

Fading stars, sequins
Turquoise at the horizon
Citrine golden hour
of the fresh breath of the wind
and the gemmed birds uprising

Coastal Getaway

Tan skin and smile lines.
Breakfast diners and strong coffee.
Soft breeze and salt-encrusted waves.
Lowered windows and strange songs.
Dripping ice cream and picnic tables.
Inside jokes and evening storms.
Good books and toes in sand.
All these things go hand in hand.

Premium Member Coastal Sunset

ship rotting near shore
prismatic colors dancing...
     ocean’s reflections

nature kisses sea
multi-hues will fade at dusk...
     another dawn waits



*Based on the photo of the ship in the sea at sunset.

A Night In Tenerife

the sea the skin of a wet dog,
black the beach; a ruined church,
the coastal lights a string of lesser ways,
we are as empty as a dropped shell
pulled across the ebb, a ripple of salt..

and as the night gets deeper
a dragon breathes like the tide:
no mistake, the dark needs its hours.

Premium Member LIGHTHOUSE RISING

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One iron spine piercing coastal fog~ a slow inhale across fractured granite, salt-thickened breath clotting the beacon's eye. Waves haul themselves against the rock's ribs again, always again~ gravity's weary pilgrims collapsing below.
