hang ten…
dog on the beach
looking for his master
Rushing in shallow
waters, rushing out again
Taking a quick dip.
A waterfall downstream-
the waves on a war footing

bobbing and diving
my boys and the ocean
reflecting delight
trapped water

myriad of tiny silver fish
fearful of the depths
Under the rusty grate,
Limestone rocks
And green pools
soothing bubbles
golden home
silver fish dance in the shallows
shallows left behind
a hurricane’s tidal surge
dragonfly buffet
alongside white wall
shady side of sunset–
blue morning-glories
