Spent some time at ‘our’ beach today, watching waves, birds, dolphins. Here are a few little poems I wrote there:
Terns wheel and bob
Above each dolphin
Like balloons on a string.
****
Wave rises, crests
Wind blows foam back
Like errant strands of hair.
****
The hiss-swoosh of wave
And rolling pebbles
Rounds all edges.
****
Shag arcs and dips its head.
The body follows
And is gone.
