WHAT WILL I LOVE TOMORROW: WEDNESDAY WRITING...

WHAT WILL I LOVE TOMORROW

A RE-POST

Today it is the calico kitten

Dancing the boardwalk

She smells of dune grass

And flower beds.

Breathing in the steamy

Salt flavored air of the

Rhythmic Wedgewood seas

Casting up ivory shells

Laughing at the awkward

Flight of ungainly pelicans

Sailing over imagined

Sahara Desert sands

A cacophony of roaring wind

Loudly breathing life into

Bouffant pillowcase sails

Fueling my mariner’s dreams

Fingers knotted round the

Pitted, rough railing I think

Today I love the ocean

What will I love tomorrow?

A nice cold Budweiser would be a good start.

David W. Feb 7, 2013, 2:37pm UTC

How about a nice glass of red wine?

Pam Brittain Feb 7, 2013, 6:51pm UTC

Wine gives me a headache. I'll bring the beer.

Lovely, David!

I will always love the sea...yesterday, today and tomorrow...I was born in a city by the sea and I live on an island surrounded by the sea...

David W. Feb 6, 2013, 7:58pm UTC

What a coincidence, after the Bronx we moved to an island off the east coast of the United States. We called it Long...

David I loved this! Once upon a time, years ago as a child, I lived in the ocean. Reading your poem helped me to smell the salty air again and seagulls whispering in the wind. Beautiful.

Reading your poem had the feel of being on vacation on a beach somewhere. The images are so vibrant and real. I breathed in that sea air as I read. Cool.
