Two Poems from our Nature Poetry Collection

 
 
HAMPTON BEACH
   
Author: Lee Emmett
   
Poem:
HAMPTON BEACH
   
  when is salt delicious?
on a really hot day
when you slowly saunter
into the bay

flop down, head first
plop! into water …
on warm sand, son
and beautiful daughter

feeble breast stroke
turn over onto back
forget about time
completely lose track

salt licks wounds physical
and emotional, and other
problems disappear
under saltwater cover

waves gently break
over face and shoulder
venture out further
get a bit bolder

Port Phillip Bay
clean and healthy
enjoyed by all comers
not just super-wealthy

over three million
people live beside
Melbournians play
low and high tide

surf-kite lifts
young man in air
modern Icarus
tanned, blond hair

much further out
white-sailed yacht
dips up and down
and tacks a lot

young boy in hat
with bucket and spade
imagines sand palace
in structure he’s made

WHAT TO DO?
   
Author: Lee Emmett
   
Poem: WHAT TO DO?
   

what to do when the well runs dry
where do you go from here?
how to tell when the spark has died
who will be next in line?

how many times will a heart leap forward
only to be dashed against the tide?
why does this song repeat round and round
driving me to the brink?

show me the world where true souls meet
far beyond the call of wind, rain and fire
believing in another who continues to hide
in the woods with the animals wild
