Gimme a wind, a harsh unforgiving March onshore slap in the face lean into and step out wind. Scrub me clean
of all this wait and see what's next. Carry me away from these endless tomorrows. Let me see Today again
rushing up the tide.
The hurricane leaped onshore
dancing with delight
unhinging the tops of buildings
releasing them into the air
like balloons
whose knots are untied
then kicking the hapless battered bottoms
far down the road
before spinning madly on
Footsteps
Trod in sands
Lines
Drawn by childrens’ hands
Smoothed by onshore winds
To exist
Though briefly
To be expunged
By rolling seas
To leave a canvas ready
For lines
Drawn by chuldrens’ hands
And footsteps
Trod in sands
Rolling 'neath blue skies
sea waves mesmerize.
With their gentle roar,
leave behind onshore
seashells, now my own...
gifts from depths unknown.

Arctic bear cubs, den,
exiting frozen grounds halfway into June.
Keeping low,
mothers navigate onshore perils,
quietly roving.
Sensing they've uninvitedly violated
wildlife's Xenia,
yearlings zigzag.

Haiku
Early evening
The day gives way tonight
The child cries.
Tranquil is the sea
Ripples onshore as tar
Absent is the wind
Autumnal darkness
Impatient winter waits
Storm knocks on windows
Frost cracks on timber
Snow makes the land secretive
Will there be a spring?
Spring after rain-fall
Aromatic is the landscape
Broods climbing trees
Listen to poem:
Languid waves lapping the shore, syrupy
Lulling winds in hiatus, abeyant
Water clinging, sad to let go, sticky
Silence piercing, unnerving the gulls to mute, tranquillity
The wetness lingers on, soaking in, clammy
Water colors seemingly apt for painting such a scene, self portrait
Prevailing wind, the conductor, hushes the onshore ensemble, quietude.
Calmness is a welcome interlude from rage and bluster, quelled
It's just, for a day or so
Gushing river's flow,
Rain cascades upon the land,
California soaks.
Clouds converge above,
Nature's tears fall, drenching earth,
Life's thirst quenched anew.
Parched landscapes await,
Nature's deluge on its way,
Respite from the drought.
Atmosphere flows,
River of wind and danger,
Coastal erosion.
Waves reach for the sky,
Hazardous winds onshore howl,
Nature's violent dance.
West Coast braces now,
High waves persistently crash,
Erosion's cruel touch.
