I sit by the seashore
I sit all day
I sit by the seashore
I sit by the waves
I sit by the seashore
And dip my toes
I sit by the seashore
Tomorrow never knows
I sit by the seashore
I sit all day
I sit by the seashore
I sit by the waves
I sit by the seashore
And dip my toes
I sit by the seashore
Tomorrow never knows
Ooh, Gross! Does anyone think these are good?
Amongst the brick cobbles of Portland’s quiet Pleasant Street sits Artemisia Cafe. “Coffee no cream, please.” At these tables pulses culture. Art expands, contracts, and, we, hope, expands again.
A stained glass fish, half red, half yellow, causes the patron to ponder the struggle of artistry and what it becomes for so many. Inside this cafe, in this fleeting moment, art stands. One of the few of the many.
Moist brownie. Strong coffee. It pays to wander the streets of Portland.
By the Seashore
I sit
In the drip of fog
The haze of day
The wail of gull
The brightness of soul
Replenished
Mashed potatoes
Brown Gravy
Pot Roast
Tender
Juicy
Thick
Brown Gravy
Sourdough
Dig In
Gulls adrift. To and fro. To and fro. The afternoon fades into crisp evening. Dressed in his gray and white, a gull poses atop a brick chimney, a perch in my view from the Holiday Inn. Coffee’s scent drifts from the pot in the room. WCSH’s Peacock splashes colorful competition with the gray and white flock.
Sunnyside up
Two eggs
Sourdough toast
Crisp, salty bacon
A dab of boysenberry jam
French roast
And the tang of a tall glass
There were two Rolos in my drawer. “Were.” Caramel, gooey, gone.
Wet driveway
Pitter-patter on the trees
Thirsty grass sips
And sips some more
Wet world
Wet summer day
Strawberries grow ripe
Climb the vine
To the sun
Strawberry Season
Fresh and Red
Fresh and Red
Sweet and Juicy
