Set upon a half crescent beach
Destination solitary ease
White sand covers toes
Time runs as you please

Poem – Inland Tropics
A trade wind style breeze
Shifting, Sifting, Sliding
Across the room
Rolling the soft white curtains
Like a gentle ocean wave

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 – 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.

Cool morning mist hangs
Soft veil upon the shoreline
A blanket of white

Waves kiss the shoreline
Back and forth with their motion
Daily ocean dance

Poem – White Sand
Life beside the ocean,
under golden sun drenched rays of red,
time is no longer the enemy,
when the tropics fill your head.
Among the white sand,
you will lose your self control,
don’t fight it,
just let it take your soul.
