Beachcombing

by J. Commander

"Beachcombing"

Lazy tide, ebb and lull
An indecisive sea gull
Harriers in thermals
Anenomies of purple

Sand fleas making bubbles
Dorsal-causing ripples
Solar-dappled sparkles
Crabs the size of apples

Cliffsides of Cormie stool
Sand-encrusted fish skulls
Spray of distant blowholes
Seals up to their ear-holes

Ravens' gravelly tol-de-rols
Pelicans by the pouch-full
A very hopeful oriole
Whose lust is extra-seasonal

Wildflowers beautiful
Mushrooms oh-so-edible
Shades and hues autumnal
Fallen leaves now tidal

The sun sets upon us all
The moon around us cycles
Loons let loose their haunting call
Rendering our souls
Musical
