Premium Member 12 Foot Skiff

oars barely skim the surface
skiff glides smoothly
as if floating on the dense fog
cormorants perch on pilings
silence broken by hungry gulls
rising sun glistens water
salt air invigorates my being
memories engulf me


Premium Member Storm Brings Disaster

This form is called, Laurette.
Love rest on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Rumi    

A raging surf Pounds the white shore And the pilings of homes Collapses one Gone forever The shell upon waves roams

Waiting At Pier 11

Helicopters hover;
Boats bounce on the waves.
Seagulls swoop and pigeons strut;
A toddler misbehaves.

Tourists take their selfies;
Cars in traffic crawl.
New construction blocks the sky 
With buildings thin and tall.

Water laps the pilings;
Clouds conceal the sun.
Another session waiting
For the ferry has begun.

Premium Member Bridge Rising

Antique bridge Rickety, weathered niche Time has aged and battered each gray board How the elements' fury each crevice explored Impossible its beauty to now be restored As the waters rage around pilings Waves lift timbers lashing Bridge Rising

Darkness Fishing

With darkness
Fishing
 No appreciation
When beaten
 Lies with submission
Stagnant streams
 Overflow under dreams
Fish in spawning
 Under currents churning
Filet knife honed
 Scales in pilings
A temperate rising
Seasoned with bubbling
Deep fried soul
 A fork  that is piercing
Please pass on the sauce
 You in yearning
Display me on a wall
 Like a trophy stuffed
Dangling with lures 
You felt so sure
 A coward with a tale
