Watching the Tide

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.

ranunculus reigns
rhododendrons resplendent

Some Socialize

swifts soar, swans swagger
swallows / sparrows socialize
sandpipers scatter

tropical tamarind trees
tasty tangerines

Premium Member A Day In May

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.

Come September

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

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

Premium Member Early Morning At the Beach

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

Sandpiper's

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Sandpipers
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: September/2009


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 -

My Secret House of Sage

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.

Premium Member Summer Sounds

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.
