Life's a Beach

Sunlit strand

Day’s golden eye

Earth’s ancient lay

Along the shore

Spiral artwork

Scattered shells

Driftwood bearing marks

Of wandering voyages

Tales of distant forests

Tempests worn

Beach glass

Like jewels rare

In sandy array

Mosaics born

From forsaken things

Transmuted

By the sea

Into pulchritude

Coral beds

Craggy splendor

Rich, mysterious

Riptide’s unseen grasp

Liquid trap set

Like a siren’s clasp

Waves ripe with secrets

Only the currents

Are wont

To share

Bay breezes

Skim the surface

Infusing the air

With salt

Spray

Life

Above

Seagulls

In lofty circles

Wings spread

Like prayers

To the sky

Danse Haiku: Act VII

Scene 1

Ring, hello, laughter

Warming gas, cordial chatter

Phone call with a friend

Scene 2

Artistry with comb

To tame the feral whiskers

Make the mustache flow

Scene 3

Clandestine buffet

Wood framework on the menu

Termites gnaw the grain

Psalm 23

Happy 4th of July!

Ink Tango

Ink, it flows, liquid tales unfurl

Shadows on parchment, continuous swirl

Black, the very essence of night

Captured in droplets, following light

In the hush, between words unsaid

Concertos composed in silence unread

Every stroke of the pen creates or destroys

A cosmos unfolding, filling the voids

Stream of dreams, meanders and seeks

Through valleys of paper, mountainous peaks

Blood of thought, fluid of soul

Ready to render the incomplete, whole

Spanning the chasm, imagined or real

Gaps between that which we think and feel

To dance, to fight, to love, to grieve

In gardens of scribbles, each spot a leaf

The plume, the sword, the writer, the muse

Together, the power to write and enthuse

Ink, in its boundless seas, we find

Reflections of heart, echoes of mind

Avant Garden Poetry Amphitheater (Origin Story)

~@~

In Summer 2011,

the dream came to life

in a simple drawing.

Winter came on,

the land was little more than

a blank canvas.

When the following

Spring arrived;

construction commenced.

First,

the foundation.

Next,

the skeleton.

After two days of work,

a basic shell was standing,

though it still needed to be sided,

painted, and landscaped.

And finally,

in June 2012,

the dream came true:

Avant Garden Poetry Amphitheater!

Season '24 coming soon.

Welcome!
