in high noon dune
blue jay joy
sings praise to pines
as cheery fir frogs
creak croak their lament
at waterside, brave waves rave
across bleach white beach
as bathers on striped blankets
repose in sunny-sun sand
and gulls queue for stale snacks
at gathering dusk dune
muffled dryer lint fog fluff
creep-sneaks in
shadowing jewel-bright surf and
shooing off bathers and greedy gulls
turning berry blue sky
to charcoal smudged cloud
gull formations dot empty beach
as cardinal kiss calls goodnight
and bats fly their evening maneuvers
in deep dark dune
owls shush hush hoot
on slow dancing trees
and flowers fold themselves
into twilight slumber asanas
as sharp pepper pine
scents sklish, swish wind
and the moon makes her entrance
with her usual flair
curtain calling today's wonder wander
so poet wanderer
dog ear's her notebook page
zipping hoodie against chill
wends her way homeward
Dreaming of new beach day
