FELLOW LOVERS

*

We are
fellow lovers
of the sea.
Because of
her
infinity
to all she gives
fidelity.

*

ANCHORS AWEIGH

*

The breaking of the day
Light oer the sea
makes its way.
Wind counterpoints
the 'anchors aweigh!'
as it fills our sails
and
from across the bay
takes us blissfully away.

*

SANDSTITCHING

*

The sea sandsifting
Birds sandshifting
The wind sanddrifting

but the grass....
sandstitching

*

SAILSTARRED SANDSIFTING SEAWEED-SCRIPTED SEA

*

Sail-starred, shell-shored, stream-swelled
sand-sifting, seaweed-scripted sibilant Sea
secedes silently, softly

Shadowed shallows sheathing scallops,
sheltering seals, shielding scuttling snails,
shrouding sharks. Sands shifting secrete starfish,
scampering shrimp.

Serene Sea supports Spanish scows, Sicilian
skiffs, Senegalese schooners, Seychelles ships,
Sardinian sculls.

Saltsmelling sailors see soaring shrieking
seagulls, striped sunrise, shining sunset,
shshshing surf.

Sudden surprising storm's symphonic sounds
slap shore shacks. Snows slip seaward, spring-subdued.
Soon sloop slides spiral sleep stairway.
