Poetry and Occasional Randomness
Calming ocean waves
Your beauty and peacefulness
Lull me to slumber
Sometimes I am glad I take a few extra videos and pictures. I had this one sitting on my phone and I don’t think I posted it before. I took this video when I went down to the beach earlier this year, 2021. How I wish I could just jump into this video and be there right now. Love the ocean, love the beach, anything associated with it.
A sandy shoreline
Volcanic mountains climbing
Salty air whispers
Ship in the harbor
Resting on soft gentle waves
Lighthouse flashing bright

This picture came across my Nest Hub Device this morning and it stopped me for a moment. As I stared at it this Haiku started to form. Inspiration comes at the most unusual of times. And if you ever thought about a smart device you should start with the Nest Hub. Of all the Devices I have owned (and I have tried many from Google and Amazon) this is currently my favorite. That’s it. You are now free to move around the blog.

Bright sandy shoreline
Shade provided by palm trees
Waves rolling softly

Secluded harbor
Castaway among the palms
Watching the soft waves

Thanks Jimmy for the inspiration.
A taste of key lime
Tropically delicious
Within each cool slice

A much needed rest
Time away with family
Resting on a beach

I guess you guys noticed I’ve been away for a bit. And if you didn’t, well I guess that is okay too. If you did, then I am here to tell you that I hope to get back to regular posts as of this week. Spent some much needed time by the water last week and I just took a break from everything. It was a pretty good trip overall. Always enjoying anytime that I can spend on the beach. I wish I lived closer. Anyway, that’s it. Hope you have a great week.
A tropical beach
End of the week daydreaming
Thoughts of island life
Overcast, grey day
Drifting away to the beach
Escaping the gloom
Bright flip flops flapping
Walking onto the bright sand
Blue ocean roaring

Not at the beach today. Just kind of going there in my mind. Drop me a like if you are there or are like me drifting mentally away.
A long endless beach
White sand stretching out for miles
Peaceful and quiet
Green tropical plant
Swaying in the ocean breeze
Nestled in the sand

This is another one of mine that kind of got lost in the shuffle earlier this month. I liked the sound of it so I thought I would give it another shot at stardom this Christmas season.

Boat on the ocean
Silver bells tied to the mast
Jingling with the waves

A warm silent night
Ocean breeze stirs the stockings
Hung with gentle care

A white sandy beach
Young child racing through the grains
Spies a tiny shell

Multi-colored shell
Resting in a tidal pool
Waiting to be claimed

Shells upon the beach
One by one they are picked up
Lasting memories

And because I’ve been singing this one all morning.
Thought I would share.
Whimsical children
Dancing barefoot in the surf
Splashing in the waves

Escaping to paradise
Soaking up the sea
