Fear By The Sea.

Published by oscar under Poem

Fear By The Sea.  

 

On the beach alone, there is a dark silencethe sea has inhaled and is ready to blow a wave my way drowning me; and there isno seagulls they have disappeared behindthe horizon following a ship, waiting for the cook to throw overboard left overs. I sense movement behind a sand dune it isan assassin ready to shoot me; defenseless,I should not have forsaken my friends.  ————————————–

Who can I call now to get me out of this?     A dark shudder on the grey skin of the sea,pallid as the sky, they are waiting for me to scream in fear and beg forgiveness for mysin of omission. If I get off the beach alive I will extol friends’ virtues and compose a lyrical song for a family I could have had,but is it not too late? As I flee I hear bulletsshred the air into find strands of wonder.

In a blind man’s eye

His wife is forever young,

This makes her happy.

Global Warming  

Senryu   

One wonders,   

Will the last thawed ice floe

Inundate New York?   

……..

Senryu   

Was it a raindrop

That caused the disappearance  

Of an atoll?
