on the sea cliff
thickets of rock rose
flourish undaunted
knuckles bleeding I cling
to hope despite the squall
Farah Ali, UK
between the last wave
of high tide letting go
and longing
of reluctant low tide
quahogs blowholes
Ron Scully, USA
prairie born
he can't understand
how the wind in the tall grass
reminds her of home
and the sea
Debbie Scheving, USA
a whelk
burnt umber whorls
painted
the family beneath
the sold beach house
Thomas H. Suitt III, USA
deep water swimming
a seal accompanies me
back to shore -
my only touch
this month
Timothy Collinson, UK
a scent of seaweed
wafts through the window
when she wakes
two empty wine glasses
echoing the night
Marion Alice Poirier, USA
