all the shades of blue
clear, midnight aqua ,sunshine
paradise of blues
swaying with the wind
palm tree ,azalea, sea oat
tail feathered bird brains
duck offers pate’
hunter’s stew made of hunters
join duck for dinner
took an ugly turn
bernie madoff and isis
recipe next show
dine on the evil
peterson dessert parfait
drew scott and michael
a million palm trees
amazing ocean colors
happy birds chirping
`
`
light blue atop white
perfectly symmetrical
cotton clouds swimming
ocean in the sky
almost covering puffy clouds
above ocean
a nickel each time
asking is this jacuzzi
or baby pool
saying it’s warmer
sitting in the baby pool
seven adults
far enough away
you can hear the ocean
chirpy little palm birds
happily dancing
haiku waves reminding
seventeen syllables
Whocouldknowthen once
saying ” what isn’t a haiku
to you errin”
and Jeff “didn’t
understand comment it wasn’t
in form of haiku”
man who stopped
to pick me up noticed
i was having trouble breathing
he has a good eye
usually unperceptive
“you look wonderful”
roger over and
out, briefs “there are plenty
of first responders here”
look like a tourist
thought i was on vacation
accommodating
seems like a good time
to see if mr. mullet
is catching any
for some reason
he has september and october
mixed up this year
not catching fish chat
“the preacher man was looking
for you and missed you”
conversion by the sea
and ye shall go to heaven
in a humvee
`
.
a new expression
instead of saying break
can i copyright this
two men trying to surf
one looking at waves
like a mad scientist
surfing in the surf
never getting wet unless
you stumble and fall
he can’t catch a wave
trying to show off his skill
seeing with two eyes
although he has four
his glasses are a hindrance
in this deep water
just when you thought
it was safe to go in the water
three jelly fish
where is your drive thru
pink ribbon ring of onion
clearly see clear pink
question being
will fishermen catch a wave
only fish know for sure
only dry wave
worth catching is on your radio
waveless mattress
.
…
when the moon is in
another day at the beach
the seventh hour
sun glistening eyes
helicopter hovering
the twelfth hotel’s sky
in the distance
mr. mullet wonders why
you are getting smaller
walking backwards
only way to see dolphin
who catches any fish
bulldog understands
just like everyone here
pictures of the sunset
seagull swoops in front
giant black feather in sand
almost a peacock
uhnuh bird chirping
landing on swaying palm tree
on top of your head
this entire life
never knowing what makes this noise
sounds like uhnuh
Ottie sees bulldog
father falls on his bulldog
heated argument
he walked a long way
pictures of the sun setting
over the ocean
wife walks through silk creek
taking pictures of husband
on the other side
many people say
it’s alright you can go through
he is not aware
newlyweds kissing
colorfully matching white palms
dressed blue and white
no halloween warmth
the age of aquarius
seventy six high
–
“dawning of the age
then peace will guide the planets
love will steer the stars”
Age Of Aquarius

far away at sea
undulate with your dolphin
sacroilliac
porpoise showing tempo
preferable to cat stretch
lumbar regions
then you will never
need a chiropractor
and please don’t marry one
.
___
dress following
into the ocean so cannot
have peace and quiet
forget you were wearing
one hundred forty five
sandals on your toes
they took the twenty
before the lifeguard said to
leave them at his stand
no life guards in fall
leaving behind john’s chair
seeing him move two times
almost at the water
a man with new york accent
florescent trunks
“would you like tickets
for dinner and restaurants
tell me when you check out”
i am so confused
never seeing anyone
do this here before
telling him “FIFTY
YEARS if i live that long
i’m NEVER checking out”
then asking if i
would like to have one hundred
go hear vacation
i said i don’t drive
this is what he understand
not that i live here
blue pupik high tide
next to me she turns her back
eyes staring at me
before having time
to figure out if that’s her
the eyes tell you so
___

october again
when blackbird sits on blue rope
sipping pool chlorine
witnesses this year
two women who see this sight
so close to the sea
black hawk up purposely
flew into long stretching
year of dragon cloud
puff the magic dragon
they say he lived by the sea
can see whale’s tail
inside puff’s blowhole
those three swimming black minnows
think they were shadows
moist sand softening
fibromyalgia heaven
tempurpedic toes
kayak hasn’t moved
for many hours sea is calm
maybe an anchor
that’s a white seashell
tern, tern, tern , no not breadcrumbs
mr. tern, tern, tern
when you learn to play
C-dog will accompany
your flute with a howl
he may “tiptoe through
your tulips” while you play
his ukulele though

Byrds / Turn Turn Turn
“there is a season
a time to every purpose
swear it’s not too late”
–
.
not one single cloud
baby blue sky surrounding
one mile to each side
telling second spring
purple babies top cacti
hot pink flowers pop
one white puffy cloud
slowly creeping behind
he will float all alone
diagonal fish
minnow in the making
swim slow see our city
swim fast see our jail
father’s expression with drive
slow see our city
this what jail bait means?
bait fish who swim too fast
will be sent to prison
they wiggle their tale
thanking for the atkins bars
no, thank-YOU they’re dry
.
.
walk slowly seeing
on the way to paradise
squirrel tells you his tale
he can’t distinguish
between the two tails he has
but that’s quite alright
ducks enjoy cheez its
one applauds flapping her wings
who has a camera
then low tide appears
most beautiful sight in world
cabanas sukkahs
colorful umbrellas
cat on a raft ocean creek
no, a woman
dark black ponytail
back, standing up to her neck
pussycat profile
you silly one
a shark could just swim by you
they say that they wouldn’t
she’s all alone
crabs crawling under her toes
maryland and deviled
why am i watching
missing the beautiful sun
colors of the sea
as if the beach
isn’t beautiful enough
oleander pampass
someone plants flowers
how much can one’s eyes take in
resort of beauty
.
.
feathers in the grass
cool wind is blowing hard
ducks lost their attire
forgotten cheez its
another flaw in their day
along with bad hair
hope you grow back fast
or you will need to become
coppertone duckies
in his mouth a rod
he holds this like a cigar
tragic beating heart
why is he chewing
now his wife has one too
oh heavenly pretzel
you fooled this fools eyes
also her heart of drumbeats
summon peaceful sea
tranquil quiet winds
listen to frolicking waves
symphony of seas
