Australia

Our beloved land
of green and gold
of rich red hills
and golden shores
of debt to the dreaming
from ancient dreamtime.

With a gentle lap,
Waves caress sandy gold shores;
Retreating for more.

A Tsunami

Ocean bed quivers quakes
                         Predator waves race to shores
                         Devour men material

Tidal

We crashed and collided
Wild waves spilling our wreckage across these shores
Beautiful disasters 
We were caught in the tide


The Sky Is Low

Standing with shoulders high
My sinking boat hangs on her ocean’s tide
Trolling her confined shores
Over there the sky is low

    I miss my roomie every day

Ever to leave these shores

Yet itching are the taxpayers’ sores!

His Future Went To Swim

His future went to swim
by shores of Lake Wisdom
Now he is in shark’s stomach
shouting for rescue squad
not aware they are in recess

Premium Member Luskentyre Shores

Bedazzled am I,
dancing to ancient rhythms 
on western windblown shores 
where drifts of machair colours 
this wearied soul restores.

I'D Like Be Flying With the Wind

I'd like be flying with the wind 
to find new shores, I'd like to flee, 
But there is contradiction fiend:
I always take myself with me.

a curious wood
waits along our native shores
to bear some kindness,
but rain comes and the sap burns
whilst kingbirds perch in its crown

Like intense bone rattling thunder in a perfect storm,
my tidal waves crash upon your integument shores.

Mulberry Landing

Shifty brown waters
Gnarled grey shack
on a verdant grassy pier
Snow white townhouses
on nearsighted shores
The sky, powdery blue
and you,

Premium Member Astride Distant Shores

Squinting, straining ocular muscles
  unveils a lonely, battered beacon
astride distant shores, welcome signal
  to weary sailors bleary-eyed

Foggy View

Like boats through the fog
They reach the shores of our thoughts
Bringing back the old,
All the scents and melodies
Felt without using senses

Alas, Man eternally swims into the ocean of time condemned never its shores to reach!

Premium Member on shores of despair

on shores of despair
I wallow in the shallow
     of my lowest tides
           yet I rise - oceanic -
when my spirit floods with joy

Premium Member The Frog

Surging forward
like ocean swells,
the frog happily hopped
gingerly along its way.

Like stoppable shores,
deep and deeper holes awaited him.

Although, for the moment, we are shores apart;
          we're still welded together by a loyal heart.

beneath the stars tonight
moonlit undulating waves
caress the longing shores
alas, my love will not be coming home
