Lethal curling breakers at dawn Bending lanterns of night silhouettes How raw and psychotic Sweetened high tide at first light Fog horn hoarse, calling shrimp boats home Dreaming sandbars couples quiet nations of shells Ospreys plummeting, slow motion dives for breakfast Luna moths adhered to fragile yet profound silver webs Delicate and infinite forms of semitropical arpeggios A sea green sanctuary inconceivably rich With barrier islands shaped by the Atlantic Years of notable generations docking inland By a 4 lane causeway humming connection Coming alive with season by default Like a child’s life bestowed and equaled Sun, lifting its golden forehead, over light-intoxicated clouds Drifting on the skyline, as morning exhales Bellows of surprise and playing porpoise Stretching through metallic diamond shone waters Sun now bright orange, climbing over trees Where it as once before spent it’s formative years Following each morning right into noon While scattered marsh hens crackle lampoons A light friendly odor of fish diverse Hanging onto humid air like moss All this pulsing commerce within the mind’s eye Portrayals of character, inlaid cameos of channeling bonsai Evensongs of nature’s dreams Along an inland waterway of heaven’s extreme |

LeeJ, somehow you have the ability to make fish smell pretty and the polluted air a little easier to breath. Great poem.  .....jo |

"All this pulsing commerce within the mind’s eye Portrayals of character, inlaid cameos of channeling bonsai Evensongs of nature’s dreams Along an inland waterway of heaven’s extreme" ~ Yes, and you portrayed it heavenly! You are a master of disguise, I mean "description"!  Happy summer hugs, Linda |

Sun, lifting its golden forehead, over light-intoxicated clouds Drifting on the skyline, as morning exhales Bellows of surprise and playing porpoise Stretching through metallic diamond shone waters How very beautiful!!! *S* |

“All this pulsing commerce within the mind’s eye Portrayals of character, inlaid cameos of channeling bonsai Evensongs of nature’s dreams Along an inland waterway of heaven’s extreme “ You have a unique way of expressing such profound meaning within all of your verses, but this one, the last verse is so captivating. Wonderful write Lee J. JL  |
