Salt water rushing
Bashing, crashing the shoreline
Racing back to sea

Soaking up the energy

Poem – Warm Cup by the Sea
Cool morning on the beach
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

Haiku – Sandy Feet
Edge of the shoreline
Toes touching the water’s warmth
As the red sun sets

Poem – Flip Flops
Flip Flops in the rain
Feeling so much pain
The warm sandy beach
So far from their reach
On this long gloomy day
So full of dark and grey

Poem – Tropical Dreams and Humid Desires
Part 1
Cigar smoke twirls,
spins, whirls
snares the fan above
Part 2
Humid air
cut it like a knife
Man sits alone
drink in hand
coke and rum
Part 3
A spy perhaps
Maybe just a sailor
Tropical tourist
or world traveler
Part 4
The bar rings
sings
with music
and people
Man watches
He’s home
at peace
by the ocean
Loosely inspired by this song:

Haiku – Lighthouse 3
Bright eye on the shore
Spinning, turning, circular
Night drifts in slowly

Haiku – 1st Beach Trip
Precious toes and feet
Touch the sand and the water
First steps on new ground

A happy father
Watching this beach scene unfold
Tears form in his eyes

Haiku – Red Sky Morning
Red skies start the day
Somewhere a sailor worries,
as the sails billow

A couple of my favorite songs involving the water and the world around it. Yes, I’m a metal head, but I do enjoy mellow music as well. John Denver goes all the way back to my childhood – listening to it with my dad. R.I.P. John Denver, gone, but not forgotten.

Haiku – Margaritaville
Need some time to waste
Get lost for a day or three
With my wife and son
Been stuck in a medication fog for the last 5 days and I have about 5 more to go. Just need to get away from all of this stuff with my family. Our June vacation can’t come soon enough. Crawling through the days just waiting to see the beach again.

Haiku – Volcano
A song by Buffett
Recorded on Montserrat
Concert favorite
“Volcano” is a song performed by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was written by Jimmy Buffett, Keith Sykes, and Harry Dailey and released as a single (b/w “Stranded On A Sandbar”) on MCA 41161 in November 1979.
It was first released on his 1979 album Volcano. It reached #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #43 on the Easy Listening chart.
The song and album are named for the then-dormant Soufrière Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat in the British West Indies where Buffett recorded the album in May 1979 at AIR Studios. The studio was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and Soufrière Hills erupted again in 1995.

Soft veil upon the shoreline

Haiku – Lighthouse 2
Empty and barren
Alone on a rocky cliff
Ghosts maintain the light

Guardians of the shoreline
Ship’s eyes in the night
