Travel Poemlets II: Myrtle Beach, SC in May

Late at night
when the sunbathers and children have gone home,
When, at last, the spring break and wedding revels have ceased.

The beach now dark,
quiet and deserted
but for the ocean, still there,
sending the surf to shore in solemn waves.

Travel Poemlets I: NC, Late June

Night,
Cooler now in a deep
violet hue.
Flicked with
stars and fireflies,
Blinks silver
Blinks golden-green
And dark.
