Lively Rumpus

Rhode Island

 

 

 

 

 

The wild waves roll relentlessly
summer winds blow restlessly

    reclining in my Tommy Bahama chair
    breathing in the fresh salty ocean air 

        umbrellas tumbling down the beach
        overhead rowdy seagulls screech 

            creating quite a lively rumpus
            pondering all the magic 
            this day may encompass

hosted by Kim - writing a 44 word quadrille
incorporating the word rumpus 

Thank you for visiting and I appreciate your comments 

Waves of Light

  Serenity rolls in on waves of light
my melodious heart rises and falls
over the horizon dreams take flight

I wonder where you are this night
do you understand the seabirds call
serenity rolls in on waves of light

In a vast heaven the stars ignite

sandy shores hermit crabs crawl

over the horizon dreams take flight

Whales songs inspire poets to write

happier memories, I wish to recall

serenity rolls in on waves of light

Sand castles,  reminders  of daylight

dark storms in the distance stall

over the horizon dreams take flight

Billowing clouds, hope sails tonight

open your eyes, experience it all

serenity rolls in on waves of light

over the horizon dreams take flight
