Wind’s be blowin’
Three, four days now
Calm’s now showin’
Dogs do doo doo, bow wow

One actually left the beach
Came to where I’m parked
I could almost reach…
…to where he dumped and barked

Lagoon is draining out
Cold brisk with clout
A chill to make one pout
Like the dog, one might shout

Marine layer’s pushed
Shorebirds are shushed
Finding rhymes ain’t no cush
Nothin’ worse, a poet woos

One…no,  two
Cormie’s scoot through
Across channel blue
A kinda wonderland stew

Right Here Today
On The Bo Bay

simple keep
poets peep
sow and reap
this one’s knee deep

beauty morn
new day born
no need scorn
outside so warm

two gulls stand firm
in lagoon, looking down
their feet get wet
in first lap’s net
both look up, turn around

ocean sky
grey then blue
summer sun
beams on through

tweaky flaps
fill the gaps
a cormie waps
wingtips slap

a chinese junk fishing boat
has anchored in bo bay
arrived a couple days ago
rocks alone, dips and sways

o’er tam the heat is seen
warms my cheek and nose
a reflection deflection
time to butter toasted toes!

song and shore birds sleepin’ in
save in the distance, faintly
soft gull cry, late lullaby
squawkin’ blares so saintly

chunks of earth topple
as rich clear liquid rushes by
sculpted troughs sloughing off
carved shifting sands capsize

soft and subtle folks arrive
park to walk their canines
swallows flit lickety-split
off their wings the sun shines

Piercing beams of sunlight bite
A freezin’ Alaska song
Shinin’ bright, blinding sight
Cold won’t last for long

Tides are risin’ nicely
Yet look like they’re receding
Wind chill incites a thrill
Sheep in the pasture, feeding

Same three, last week seen
Stroll chattering on Stinson
As they amble,  banters ramble
Fido scrambles in the brambles

Bolinas Beach risers move
In cool of morn, quite brisk
Walkin’ pooches on the looses
Waves are flinging snow-white mist

Vast-vacant without shorebirds
Hide nestled in warm spots
By midday they’ll soar the bay
Swoop ‘n dive and chomp-a-lot

Right here today
On the bo bay
