Ocean waves cry out,
From the center of the sea:
With faith to reach land.

something grabs my leg

                          plastic bag churned by the tide

                                 ocean clings for life

grey wings soar the clouds
diving and dipping the surf ~
seagull serenade

old sailors still dream
mermaid beauty unseen
seashell lays on shore

wind lifts salty air
scent of the sea fills my hair --
fishing without care

pelican dives fast
shrimp on the hook was my last --
strips the bait I cast

turn with quick motion
see crab stealing sun lotion --
ocean commotion



*Entry for Carol’s Rhyming Haiku contest

the ocean speaks a
language we all understand. . .
serene to surly


7-11-17

the sun is peeking
just over the horizon'
in the ocean blue

Under starlit dome,
across the empty ocean,
I sail all alone.

White curl'd hairs of spumes
reveals its longevity-
Blue Ocean of Old

The hiss of the sea,
From the hollow of a shell;
Soft ocean whispers.

Oceans rise and fall
to the rhythmic breaths of our
luminescent orb

Separate eagle and dove
Spiritual birds

Into the blue





dark clouds evanesce
as eyes stare into the blue
ecstasy shimmers ....

serene ocean depths
awaiting reconnaissance 
undulate their throbs ....

Seashell Symphony,
On ear, rhapsody playing.
Ocean Conducting!


Dedicated to Raul...you're a very good teacher...tell me what you think?

cataclysmic waves

                                     awaken sailors' nightmares

                                      last rites claimed by sea

waves shape the sea glass

rain paints the skipping stones

sand frames the ocean

azure blue ocean
grey seal sunbathes on dark rocks 
picture perfect scene

I witnessed this scene this morning when we were doing a recce for a walk with are doing tomorrow with people with visual impairment

a cruise sails between
the fog cloud that looms in the
blue turquoise ocean

waves come crashing in

topple castles made of sand

what will future bring

Salt spray and Seagull
Cries…swaying palms…healing balm
Soothe both ears and eyes

beautiful oceans ~
attract swimmers and surfers
home to predators ~

a waterfall flows
from mountainside to ocean -
distant reggae song

clear waters light sky -   
where blue meets turquoise vista 
a swallowtail hums

fog on the horizon -
the ocean immensity
hidden from view

fog on the horizon -
I anticipate her beauty
when she lifts the veil

fog on the horizon -
the soft prelude leading
to a sunrise suite

Devoid of ocean....
  
                  with ever changing magic

                                      my sandcastle clouds

salty intrigue drifts
ocean conduct swells mans awe ...
sea deeply aloof

a voice is calling
                    music that's heard by the heart
                              the song of the sea

calm waves blue green sea
gently flow upon the sand
barely a whisper
