Nature’s Gift
The cooling breeze was welcome
An antidote to the sweltering day
Giving way for an enjoyable walk
Along the front of the bay
Pelicans sitting on the pilings
Watching the fish brought from the boats
Patiently waiting for scraps
To guzzle down their throats
Rounding the marina
Observing the luxury on display
A family posing for pictures
On their own special day
Dogs being walked
Children playing on the grass
Couples picnicking on blankets
Champagne drunk from cut glass
Kayaks traversing the water
Paddle boarders staying upright
Sails blocking the low sun
As day prepares for night
Seagulls emphatically cawing
Only they know at whom
Food has probably been espied
A plan of action one assumes
Some dolphins frolic off the shore
Arcing in the water
Flipping the fish they play with
As I continue my saunter
Energy from the water
Is calming to the mind
A day full ups and downs
The stresses left behind
As the sun drops on the horizon
I give thanks for the therapy
A healing balm
Nature provides for free

The Plastic Sea
The Plastic Sea
Seabirds trussed like turkeys
On Thanksgiving Day
Dolphins’ dorsal fins cut with fishing line
Is just another way for us to betray
Sea creatures swallowing grocery bags
Thinking they are jellyfish
Turtles strangled in synthetics
Surely you couldn’t wish this
Our commitment to save the planet
Includes the oceans too
Choking their inhabitants
Is really askew
We are filling our seas
With torturing plastic
Shame is what we must own
Act now, this situation is drastic
