Puente Poetry: The Best of Neighbours

two whippets on the beach by a wooden post above the tidal lagoon

the seagulls from our roof
feed in the lace the waves push in,
heavy with crab for growing chicks
who will soon be the size of their parents

~ our quirky friends ~

now the best of neighbours
with tilted head and knowing blink
we head for home as the sand disappears
in a hungry sea that swallows every bar

Wishing you all a happy Monday and a wonderful new week,

Puente Poetry: Dream Song

a smiling blue and white whippet wading through a tidal lagoon

a rippled lagoon reflects pine and
passing cloud with snow-capped
mountains leaning into past
and present blessings from

~ a crystal clear sea ~

that follows the moon to
the other world, so far
yet near when we close our eyes
and do our wildest dreaming

the day’s palette
a hazy blue and green
at high tide
tomorrow’s footprints
wait for us in sand and sea

where angels can be heard
