Short Kayaks Poems

Kayaks

Kailua Beach, sandy shores
keep paddlers at bay view,
kissing turquoise surface,
keenly riding the lips,
knocking on pantomime,
kid like, with seaman dreams, 
kayaking reefs of bay.

The morning -
kayaks launch, voices call,
sound moves cleanly over deep waters.

White ibis and blue heron cordon cypress knees;
shallow eddies mirror the faces of our dreams.

At twilight, sherbet reflections paint
sunlight's fair, fading face
on our lake.

Jammed some fun into one day
Aboard kayaks, paddling play
Mangroves, stingless jelly fish
And in my head, a hand itched

In beats, a beach reggae-tunes
Crashing waves upon the dunes
As curling smiles seemed to mock
Monster cruiser at the dock

Yellow sun did set too fast
Dashing night on anchor cast
Awhirl the sea’s brooding deep
Yesterdays pile on the keep

Hire out a gondolier; he can hunt 
for local sites, you don't want to miss -

Rush down from the hills and mountains
Maneuvering around untold hurdles
Negotiating paths of least resistance

Adorn your banks with trees in blossoms
Be the source of food and water
Float the kayaks and row the rowboats
Being a reveler for recreation

And through it all you must remember:

Sometimes shallow, sometimes deep
Sometimes wide, sometimes narrow
No matter the terrain, a river will always

Reach for its goal to merge with its ocean
