Ocean side
Sitting with my toes
Firmly planted in the sand
Underneath a loud flapping palm tree
Blue
That’s my first attempt at Sidlak Poetry. I would love to hear some thoughts on it and I would love to see what you can do. Post your Sidlak poem either in the comments section or your own blog. Swing back over and leave me your link so I can check it out.
Great version of this Buffett classic.

In case you were wondering, I wrote this Haiku when I was at the beach a few weeks ago. There was a man who lived a couple of houses down from where we were renting. Each day he would put up and take down the flag, which was on a pole at the end of this wooden board walk that led to the beach. I would see that flag as it hung over the sand with the ocean crashing behind it, and it inspired this Haiku.

Poem – Carolina Salt
Fishing boat
Trawling across the water
Birds in your wake
The day getting hotter
+
Dawn until dusk
Waves crash and splash
Hauling nets
Catching your daily cash

The life of a fisherman
Hard and calloused hands
Aches and pains for thee
Life on and from the sea

Poem – Coastal Mix
A dash of sunlight
Mix in a splash of palm tree
Dust it with the ocean
Sprinkle it with sand
Add some warm weather
Put your feet up
Drink it all in

Poem – Warm Cup by the Sea

Waves crashing – pounding surf
Seagulls chitter and chatter
Proud to be on their home turf
Cup of coffee in my hand
Watching this seagull show
The sun gently on the rise
Warmth starting to grow

Edge of the shoreline
Toes touching the water’s warmth
