Breathing in so deeply
Scents of seaweed and crisp air
As gulls seranade
And ocean foam caresses
Sand covered toes
Sunset glistens like gold
Shimmering on waves
That meet rocks and waiting cheek
With a salty kiss goodnight
Choka

Wanting and wasting are we
Living in a plastic worldly tent
Of high tech commodity
Wanting and wasting are we
Our waste destroying the sea
And littering our enviroment
Wanting and wasting are we
Living in a plastic worldly tent
Triolet
This poem is based on an “up-ended” meaning of this phrase: “waste not, want not”
This is actually a proverb which means:
if you use a commodity or resource carefully and without extravagance, you will never be in need.
This was one of my mom’s favorite sayings. She lived the the Great Depression. We would all do well to learn to do this nowadays.

Every moment counts

Bestowed upon one place
Billion grains of sand
Kissed daily by the sea

A towering rock of old
Worn smooth by elements
This time, this place, this space
Is mine to enjoy today
