#beach #quiet #moment
Early morning
calm before the chaos
watching the sun pop its head
above the waterline
catching those precious
early morning rays
watching her shadow like a little girl
as she leaves footprints in the sand

#socs #poetry #motion
the waves moved us on
destination isle of man
behind us north wales
sails blown here to there
waters waves breaking against the boat
while some dived down deck
crashing waters hazardous
getting wet ? least of worries
grateful for lighthouse
#Socs #Links
Like the loops of a chain keeping them together
Like the wires transmitting the news to your TV
Like the road that goes from A to B
Something keeps them together
Romans Rolling over Rural Scenes
Rocky paths for Stallions and Soldiers
Ripping through riverbanks
Miles of track traversing the country
Making its way from Manchester to Middlesex
Mighty juggernauts moving from north to south
Somethings keeps them together
Traversing over hill mountain and dale
To get to the office the shops or the coast
Taking the most direct route possible (sometimes via a tunnel)
Delays ?
Daily occurrence – as
Double time spent fixing holes or faults
Reactions to Roadworks
or leaves on the line ? – Revolutionary
Rolling up to your Destination by bus not train
Sole observer watching by the shore, as
hopping and skipping towards the beach
in a race to get to him
many of Neptune’s and Ra’s children
move hop skip and jump creating colourful patterns
each one hoping they’ll get there first
racing bring smiles to all who see it

Lighthouse
Beacon beaming from the bright tower
provides guidance for the skipper of a trawler
as he pulls his catch towards the harbour
following the light
that skips along the water
created by the bright bulbt
hat turns around in the tower

Gliding
#fowc #Gliding
The crew waited for that moment
the moment that was perfect
the moment to change direction
No Salty Afternoon Washes
No Swabbing the decks of Seawater
No trouble from the turning wind
Simply moving through the water
Simply cutting past the breakers
Simply Gliding through the sea
#writephoto #prompt
Family sit on the bank,
they’ve been doing this for years
keeping an eye out for their neighbours
providing cover from the atlantic wind
for the plants, and sometimes an animal or bird
and giving shade to the pretties in pink
their reward for this task
watching the breakers
coming in to the shore
#CYW #Manatee
Living under water
Looking after the bed
Making sure he and his family are fed
Keeping the sea grass as short as can be
the underwater moo – moo – the manatee
#Writephoto #Causeway
Created as a path across the water
a stretch of sand , gravel or road
usually gets wet when the tide comes in or
sea or river levels rise
especially after really bad storms
when that happens – its advisable to take
another route – or else
you’ll do more than get your feet wet!
#Writeclub #Iceberg
Iceberg
In the watery depths – it waits
Cold hearted assassin
Engaging its prey
Boats don’t stand a chance…
Even when clad with mighty armour – They’re
Rounded up as they try to escape – and attacked,
Grounded – or Sunk
If wide eyed
Captains don’t open their
Eyes – the crew they work with will get a surprise
Being jostled by the giant of frozen ice
Engaging a giant ? the boat pays a price
Rocking the boat or bashing its hull
Gushing in seawater till the hull , it is full
