Poetry

I was going through some files as I was getting ready for the Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference and found some poems I wrote about 10 years ago. Since I recently vacationed at the beach, I thought I'd post these two.

OCEAN DAYS

The ocean breeze whips my hair

As cool water licks my toes

The sand gives way beneath my feet

While sun beams kiss my nose

PIRATE TREASURE

I carry my bucket in one hand,

My shovel in the other,

Ready to dig for pirate treasure

With my little brother.

We search for jewels and shiny gems,

We mine for silver and gold.

All the while in my pocket

A tattered map I hold.

My brother begs to take a look,

I say I'd rather not.

For all that yellowed paper says is

'X' marks the spot!
