Early day

[mike poet]

Morning


Here I sit where all makes sense
while submersed in the passivity
of Morning dews drench
psalms of calm on the wind was sent
there is practical intuition to find
forth hence.

It’s hidden under the ficus tree
blended in darkness all shadowy
a peace an ease lucidity
I need but seek and it comes to me.


Midday


Walking along the ocean side
I watch my reflection in the changing tide
my thoughts ripple
and gently wash along the shore.


The sound of seabirds carries along with the breeze
compendiums heard are of harmony
without a glitch always perfect in pitch
I feel to the tuning of mothers natures creed.

Night

Sitting in the near full moonlight
Palms singing the song of wind
Life flowed in designs
Of unclouded Moonshine
With a speckling of Stars in the blend.

[e-piph[lol]]

me, too. loved 'em both...

[Ben Grader]

Mike, I liked them both too.

The sound of seabirds carries along with the breeze

hit where it counts, There is nothing to compare with the sounds of gulls screeching as they fly along the shore. Not musical I guess but it means coastline to me whenever I hear it.

Thanks Mac Piph and Ben..It's some sort of a depression tropical thing right now..ha ha gotta go to the Beach and see big waves..I work about 500 yrds from Cocoa Beach Pier and they the waves looked nice today..It's great I tell ya..:Living on an Island you are litteraly surrounded by Water and it is the best..I started the Night part of this but it is during a full moon and thats how it came out..

Mike, the imagery in “Early day” is vivid.
while submersed in the passivity
of Morning dews drench
The hyperbole in that passage could very well submerse the reader into the poem.

I watch my reflection in the changing tide
my thoughts ripple
and gently wash along the shore.
This is more interactive imagery as I can hear the “washing” of the tide. This is a light onomatopoeia, light but effective.

To friendship,
Michael

Look, Mike, I like this.
Fine.
But I know you've got more.
Give us the next one.
I think this is just a shadow.
I could be wrong.

:) Thank you..I have more but I need to find it..I looked the other day at 4 am cause I wake early and then started going to the Beach to watch the Sunrise..Wrote a short poem about that then felt it was not enough and remembered the scent of Oranges blooming while walking and of course a poem flowed and needs to be combined..
The Oranges here are incredible...
I will get on it soon and find what ones I have lost in my notebooks..I tend to make a mess when writing though..My stuff is usually mixed in a couple of notebooks and I have to find the most recent version of what I am looking for..There are normally at least like 10 versions scattered in my notebooks..I will get on it though..And again thank you..
