Poem Category: Beach

Thunder bolts
in fading light
the rush of showers from the sea.

Sleeping on the beach
Divine
among the stars.

Gulls watching–
the beachcomber finds bits
of pocket money.

Beach driftwood
the roundness of the coconut
gaining higher ground.

Chest high surf
wave slapping wave
in the moon behind us.

Isolated beach
jogged all alone
empties my mind.

Aegean island
alone— yet a set of prints
under my feet.

Not one scurrying
that I can catch …
the red sand crabs.

The summer brings me …
sprinkling father
on our horse-shoe bay.

Beach roasts
the shrill cry of gulls
returning to sea.
