Talented artist Raul Dufy
so admired in his day
By the fashionable 'beau monde'
racing& yachting he was especially fond

It may be leisurely
This activity.
Gleeful, through a sea air
Gliding o'er a sea;
To watch, ah! Heart-buoying.
Long past ahoying.
To that far horizon's
Dream isle's berth; melts in.

A lovely walk, a promenade leads the way
Burnt orange succulents stand like bushes serene
Crushed tepid deep, whitewash stirs up behind the scenes
Delightful blends of blue sky in-between
Entwined the seaweed branching out for a reach
Finely tuned trumpet sounds of swoosh on the beach
Glassy prisms beam through dark shades
Horizon blended ocean, sky, behind palisades
Intruders running 'round, sand in face
Jelly fish glow and charm with grace
Krutsinger Island, the sign reads
Lover’s bed and breakfast needs
Men and woman frolicking in the water
Naked babies cry out with laughter
Oceanic mammals creep by
Palm trees, flowing, occupy
Quietly recedes then tosses its sea
Rentals, beachcombers welcome
Surfers ride their boards for fun
Tingling with a cooling breeze
Umbrella of waves, high tides come and go
Verdant colors make for radiant seascape
Whales bellowing blow show
Xanadu paradise plan your escape
Yachting, sailing, tagging and more
Zanzibar coastal getaway tours

Y!...P!M! : asked the sentry at the door of waking
--------------------------------------------------------
yup...past midday!
(yawning...pondering...mmmmm)
yammered past
midnight
yacking propels me
yards...plows
mental
yesteryears pathways...mountainous
yes...puzzling
maybe
yet productivity means
yachting problems
minimizing
yawls...pacifying memories
yearning...premeditations
materialized
years previous...managable
yen-pen
moment
yang potential mediums
yielding...perpetual
music...
yelling pesters me

RESOLUTION
Yachting years back
On August 18th
A Black boy by the bridge
Drew a decision
Be it yesterday or tomorrow
Nearest or extreme
Here comes the mid point
The point of transition
The point between yesterday and tomorrow
The middle of the centre
The midst of dilemma
Behold white and black
Behold a coat and a gown
Behold a stethoscope and a scale
Behold a laboratory and a court
Behold Judges and justice
Behold government and the people
Behold politics and leadership
Behold a gun and a pen
He chose to be a legal writer
Another August 18th
The centre of metamorphosis
And he is PLUS ONE at this mid point

yachting, 7th grade,

Come sail with me once more dear friends, to ply the winds to comply.
To hoist the sails, pull on the sheets, to steer the yacht driving through waves.
Together, we make a great team, tackling and taming riled wild seas.

Hannah suffered from being bullied at school,
So turned to the Royal Yachting Association;
Born with no lower right arm in 1985 cool,
She originally sailed a mirror, neat motion.
Initially she didn't like disability sailing events,
But Andy Cassell, a British Paralympic sailor,
Directed her to them, so she put her cents,
Into sonars, larger boats with a team factor.
She joined with John Robertson and Thomas,
And gave her all in the mixed sonar contests,
Where she won 2 silvers and 2 bronze bases,
And also 3 golds at the Disabled World jests.
This was between 2003 and 2015 Melborne,
Starting in Athens, going on to Sonderborg,
In Denmark, then to Perth, Australia born,
And then to Medemblik in Holland, a gorge.
Then came Weymouth which took them onto,
Melbourne, and from there Rio they made,
Where the trio created a ninth place portfolio,
Which thrilled them nonetheless with blade.

A mbient animals auditioning against the airwaves
T imorous trees that tirelessly tower throughout time

E arth elegantly euphorically evolving eternally.

It is a common saying amongst our people
That every deed creates around it a ripple
Valor is but stability of courage the soul
Valor exist because the world plays foul
Perfect valor is to behave, without witnesses
But not hide weaknesses and our human witness
Go as one would act were all the world watching
But go free as one doing yachting
Go on and increase in valor for this is the path to immortality
