Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.
Misty mountain hop

Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.
Sleep comes like a tide.
Evenings at home, we drift off
heads back, mouths open.
Some people like to
cook. Then there’s me who dreads that
thing called dinner hour.
Wind chimes jangle in
the breeze. Nature’s alarm clock
saying, “Go to sleep.”
Soft watercolor
pre-dawn shifts to vividly
rendered intense hues.
Nut brown ale. Oatmeal
stout. Bayside, we eat gumbo,
salads, tan through lunch.
Cheeseburger joint with
singer grateful for applause.
Relaxed crowd, staff slow.
Island band’s Christmas
tunes with a reggae twist our
dinner serenade.
Cruzan pineapple
flavored rum makes happy hour
even happier.
We eat cereal
on the porch by the sea, while
island music plays.
