Ogunquit Tides


majestic tides sweep the shore 'round the clock every twenty-four
waves so high, they break against the sky,
as birds and marine prey look for daily delights,

the sunrise flows above the waves,
and shines beneath the clouds, cycling yet another day.
slowly, the waves inch on shore, and sift the sand slightly more.

shifting tides into the day, brings a new surprise,
as the northwest wind roars on by,
with beachcombers, fishermen and castaways look for a prize.

Blow ye North Wind


Blow ye north wind, blow!
your breath shakes me bones,
zephyr's winds howl across the parabolic dunes


blow ye north wind, blow!
leaves dance across stone walls
as threatening winter breath flows


Blow ye north wind, blow!
your gusts shake waves
 as nautical birds look for prey

Blow ye north wind, blow!
sea grass sways as autumn  rain sweeps through
the coastal plain...
