Remember watching the tide
The sandpipers around
The barnacled pillars of the wharf
Everything wet, you silky and soft
I swim to an unknown rocky strand, marooned by the captain's hand,
Up on the barren shore I stand, up on the wave-washed sand.
The sandpipers dance a saraband; could I like the birds withstand?
Held by the bars of a coral band, alone in a rocky land.
Ravishing Rarities
ranunculus reigns
rhododendrons resplendent
roses radiate
Some Socialize
swifts soar, swans swagger
swallows / sparrows socialize
sandpipers scatter
Tasty Tree Types
tamarillo treats
tropical tamarind trees
tasty tangerines

Sand ruffles beneath creaming tide
where seaweed bouquets softly glide;
searching for crabs, sandpipers prance
in crystal pools where sunbeams dance.
Suspended somewhere outside time
this springtime taste of life sublime
stretched out upon the sandy shore
just watching cloud kites dip and soar.

last wisps of summer
float along the empty shore
a cool mist slowly rolls in
ready for change
school bells ring
lawn mowers silent
squash left in the garden
shadows get longer
waves catch soft light
sand pails abandoned
beach plums wither
along the shore line
sandpipers scatter
carrying summer secrets
The Sea
A sea of Blue with ripples of golden sunshine.
Laps upon a burnished shore
Seaweed of deepest olive, waves amongst its tender ripples
Seagulls bobbing, Sandpipers scurrying
A friendly breeze, carries there calls
The Sea that laps upon our shores
Is the sea that laps within our souls
The wave that laps around the world
Wraps around us all
early morning sun
sparkles crystal blue water-
like aqua blue glass
a flock of seagulls
hover over crashing waves-
watching for sea fish
sandpipers on shore
searching for dead crab pieces-
while chirping their song
bright pink beach roses
waif in the salty sea air-
masking ripe wetlands
tide slowly building
as the ocean is waking-
waves crashing louder

I want
to
go down
by
the sea-
where
the waves
break
along the
beach -
To watch
little
Sandpipers,
race
curiously
upon
the shore -
pecking
there beaks
in
the sand
along
the sea -
I want
to
go down
by
the sea -
This
would be
a
great day
at
the beach -
There is a place far away that only I can find
A secret cove of sand and stone,
where the ocean meets the sky
Just me and my little house of sage
A picket fence that holds no lie's, with wild flowers that
dream to fly and sandpipers fluttering by
Just me and my little house of sage
Even after the stars have burned out and all the universe is gone,
I'll will still be here...
Just me and my little house of sage.
Form:
Superb the sounds of summer’s soliloquy
So sweetly singing the sparrow’s song,
Sometimes she sounds suddenly sonorous
Since startled sparrows sing shrilly strong,
Summer sounds so singularly sacrosanct
Swallows and swifts sing slow and soft,
Sailing skyward like sandpipers swinging
Standing, then, on solid sand sashaying
Soon sauntering, staying satisfied, sane,
Soothing summer sounds stolidly serene.
