Birds and Nature

Several poems written today at the San Leandro Marina

August 30, 2008

 

I live about a mile from the San Leandro Marina, on the San Francisco Bay.  It is a place I like to go to relax and allow nature to restore my balance and perspective.  Here are a few poems I wrote there today:

 

Fresh air and water

Geese and Seagulls strut along

Freedom by the Bay

 

Relax by the Bay

San Leandro Marina

Freedom in Nature

 

Sun shines and wind blows

Birds strut or stand in the warmth

Birds ride gentle waves

 

Goose is curious

Wondering what I'm doing

No problem, move on

i get a good feel of what the bay is like on a beautiful summers day. The last one made me laugh..

Goose is curious
Wondering what I'm doing
No problem, move on

cute! Animals are a lot like toddlers to me. They do some curious odd ball things that you can't help chuckle about. Anyway, sounds like a place I'd like to visit! Great pieces

Good string of haiku. I love the last haiku. It's funny. :)

I agree with the other two: The goose stanza was hilarious! Haha.
I'm married to the ocean, haha. Or so I like to tell people. It's my hearts' compassion...yet I live so many hours from the coast. I do treasure the few times I do get to relax in it's huge arms. It's wonderful that you have that blessing.

I'm jealous! I wish I lived closer to the water. Your haikus are like perfect little snapshots of life. I love the one about the Goose!
