Red Dawn at Oak Harbor No reservation for the morning ferry Arise in the dark to get in line The air is chill but we are merry Intoxicated without the wine A week at the vineyard was over now We’d had our joys, back to the plow So we sat ‘neath the lights to await the sun Knowing few others had so much fun As sun crept up we got a surprise It turned all blood red right before our eyes The sky was awash in sanguine hue And black harbor sea turned wine red too Silhouetted in this monochrome scene Boats and pilings moored and serene As if draped in black to mourn our passing As gulls started their flight in this view surpassing Soon the bustle of boarding took our attention And the color washed out as if I need mention But was burned in our minds for any and all time Seal of a vacation wrapped up in rhyme Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

Everyone- Martie spoke of a Photo - I have one - as soon as I can find it - I'll scan and post it. In my humble opinion my words will pale when you see it. Thank you all |

Sunshine, Marge, Sunlit Soul- It's taken me all this time - but I sent a copy of Pic to Nan - Hopefully she will be able to attach it to my poem - so you can see 'literally' what I tried to convey with t my words Thank you |

Beautiful image created by a wonderful poet. I really loved this picture. ~Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self~ Cyril Connolly |
