I like to Watch

I like to watch the birds in the trees like it’s my job. I like to watch them eat, like it’s corn on the cob. I like to watch fish swim like me in the pool. I like to watch penguins play like it’s cool. I like to watch kids play like it was me. I like to watch seals play like they are full of glee. I... Read more »
I Love the World

Nature is green as West Deptford Pride. Trees growing bigger and bigger every day. Trees swaying back and forth like little kids. Grass is like hair to the Earth. Animals happy to be free like immigrants from their home. The wind blowing my hair like a hairdryer. Earth holds us like a mom with her baby. Water... Read more »

Driving up along side of the island, smelling the sweet smell of the ocean water. Seagulls flying, cars driving, on my way to Long Beach Island. The sand as golden as the sun, people lying out to get a good tan. People relaxing, people talking, a few couples walking. Running off into the water, as if... Read more »
Thinking of You

Mid-May, the beach is quiet lifeless The perfect time to be alone, So tranquil and filled with peacefulness Time to get all your thoughts in order. Worries and troubles are coming about But you just want to relax. All of a sudden, a storm starts, no doubt That you’ll be away from your peace soon. As... Read more »
First Love

We were eight years old, He wore dirty blue jeans and I wore a pretty little sundress, He had a face of freckles and eyes that sparkle like emeralds, He tried to steal my cookies, but I ran away, We would sit on the porch swing, Just looking up at the stars, talking. Every night that summer we chased... Read more »
Another Lazy Day at the Beach

Stretched across miles, slipping away to the coastline, Longing to be caressed after long seasons apart, Like a warm welcome home hug from a veteran dearly missed. Creeping between the small crevasse of your toes, Captured is the feelings once swallowed whole. Soothing at first, but don’t let it fool... Read more »
The Common Goal

As the heart races, fight to catch a breathe, Take one more step, one step closer. Keep pushing through the struggle and pain. Become mentally tough, keep focused. Put it all out on the line, sell out for them, Make them look good- bad pass, poor shot: Stay determined– it’s all for the team. Twelve... Read more »
The Trail

Slippery the trail is. And though my tires are flat, I know The danger of the narrow track. Pumping my straining legs, I only know This devil-hellish trail must lead somewhere good To a place of ease. Slippery holes luring me in to painful death. As could death traps Like a ruthless spider from tunnel... Read more »
Paradise

Blue water as blue as the sky in which it reflects Sands like golden wheat fields Palm trees almost look plastic My chair as white as the snow That never fell here. My fishing pole sits still Gently coming to and fro from the gentle waves. Sounds of gulls, calling out overhead. The sounds of crashing... Read more »
