Short Waterfront Poems

White like a sand beach
covers the sloped waterfront...
Winter's deception!...

On the water
waves reflecting
peaceful moments
early morning.

motorcycle roars
penetrating the quiet night
shattering the silence

aircraft on the runway
jet engines scream before lift off
to the clouds above

on the waterfront
ocean liner calling her flock
- the loud blaring horn...

Ilchee, the "Moon Girl".
She paddled her own canoe ~
Bronze gaze, heart of steel.

in a breath
in and out
i sigh
leave it all behind
that city nonsense
it’s artificial
nothing but
insanity
pure craziness

i find a waterfront
just stand still
stand very calm
breathe it in
slowly
one and two and three
this is it
reality
take it all in

The rain drips my veins
Callous draws tight 
Entrenched
Peg leg with 3 teeth

Shaking down the crooks
Blasting through the waterfront
Set anchor to the docks
This place as good as any
Let's get to work

Mutiny at sunset
We'll crawl into graves
And disguise our face

Lofty mermaids arrest
Stolen glances
Our brotherhood sails true
Like nails ringing
Set to live or die...

Just as mirror of the sea,
 Lake Michigan’s shinning big.
 Boats are passing with the sails –
 summer has refreshing air.
 
Ideal shallow to swim water –
 heated, crystal air vibrates,
 at trees people sit in shades,
 some are playing on fine sand.
 
Shining with the crystal sparks,
 spacious beaches - waterfront
 and the Downtown stands afar.
 
Reddish setting sun with lure,
 sky has color of vast water –
 pleasant air descents cool....

In the town of Nowhere
A popular place
The honeymoon couple
Spent their two weeks 
They found a restaurant 
On a waterfront
To enjoy their meal
And their lovely view
They wanted to explore
While on  their honeymoon

A tour guide hired
On a tour they went
The guide pointed out areas
Of the history past
A glass bottom boat tour
They viewed shipwrecks past
The guide was telling them
About the history of the past
That happened once upon
   a time...

Waves are crashing onto the shore as another boat drifts by
The clouds hang high overhead as if suspended in time 
People everywhere as far as the eye can see
walking through the park or along the waterfront
Happy faces, smiling children by their sides
skipping along carefree in the sunshine
The seagulls give a beckon call as they glide across the sky
Summertime is still ever present, even though fall is very near
