Messy Bessie
Bessie, out hiking, had to pee,
She glanced about, choosing a tree;
To her distress
She made a mess:
Windward, she’d squatted, not alee....

Dabbled Duo
dabbled duo —
tan toes spitter spatter sand...
Pollock’s mermaid splash...
impressionist spitfire dart
procreates in windward minds...

Seasick
A young man shipped out on the sea;
No care if ‘twas windward or lee.
But storms came along,
His stomach not strong,
Now sees ships only on TV!

Highway 61
Maintaining his distance,
Dylan felt safe
A musical drifter
not born for one place
His words once released,
to live on their own
The road calling windward
—far from his home

Windward
The wind
is an agent of change
so I face it
head on
and welcome its
cold embrace
its cleansing properties
its whirling breath
that chafes my skin
and chills my core
and I ask it to change me
and it always obliges....

Asea
Affable windswept seas,
Awaken distant dreams
Affirming lost desires.
Agog with passion's will,
Awaiting windward hope.
Away on bounding crests,
Alive to trim such sails.

Little Wings of Red
Winter passerines of beauty and joy
chirping in unison without decoy
Soft and pretty with wings of pure red
you sit on a branch as fine as thread
Windward breezes snowflakes of white
I love to watch you in the morning light
Wuthering winds that carry you away
oh how I wish that you could stay...

Sitka Sunset
Lights flickered as evening woke
the tired lagoon
where wrinkled reflections
and silhouettes of a million
spruce steeples
tickled the horizon.
A chorus of slapping halyards
joined a colony of gulls
in their repertoire
above the docked fisherman.
Trees, painted half-white
by windward squalls
faded off like a black curtain
to await an encore at dawn......

Burrens' Be/ Southern Ireland
The earths end, sky, sea;
pumice stone, windward lea
life grasped, grey alpine scree
Christian hinterland barren be.
Pillars, lentils, altar stones;
ground from Lug’s ancient bones.
Life minute, crevice formed foam
Erin’s core, St. Patrick’s home.
Where sweetness blooms, oh so rare;
petals leach such perfumed air
From seeming nothing fairest fair,
Ah, the Burren’s take me…there....

Borne Bright On the Breeze
dandelion drift
soft the seeds set sail windward ...

Never Too Old For Snow!
Like a blustering old man the
storm spews snow epitaphs of disregard
for the minions of man.
A light froth falls from the north
dry and distant making
sideburns, muttonchops on the bark
of barren tree trunks.
The windward side of the trees
applying downward weight of snow
tilting with dismay.
Yet, the day calls to the young
and through slamming back doors they run
sleds, and saucers in their bundled arms
ah... for my ole flexible flyer!...

Fish Hawk
There it is - a dot in the blue.
There it is - black wings in the sun.
There is - a feathered diving.
Here it comes
look at the parting windward!
Look - a bolt of fright
a flight of lightning
Fish wriggling- slivering rainbow
clawed hook hung in the hanging
spray fly-falling
bird up-risen
wings boating airward
mouse run snake path in the scrub
food - baby food
open red mouths - nesting.
mouse got - too slow
fish gone.
Mouse swallowing
last breath....

Rhythm of the Seas
RHYTHM OF THE SEAS
lovers join hands
on windward deck –
sea legs unwind
~
caribbean beat –
we salsa this way and that
warmed with rum punch
~
moonlight pools in my
teal green eyes – relief
from work week heat
~
a cool breeze
caresses our cheeks –
serendipitous shivers
~
bottlenose dolphins -
ride the rhythm
of ocean tides
~
hear the heart singing
of moonlight breezes –
amorous palpitations
