SEA GEMS by EVON DESSINS

First Line: BLUE TURQUOISE WAVES
Last Line: FROM THE NOON SUN.
Subject(s): SEA; OCEAN;
I.

Blue turquoise waves,
Opal green sprays
Of a quiet sea
Slashing the crags'
Jagged white thighs
At dawn.

II.

Emerald green weeds,
In patches, I see,
Floating easily
On a calm sea.
Cerulean blue haze
Rising in a morning sky.
A sea gull on the wing
At morn.

III.

Bubbling, white foam laves
The face of the sand.
Tiny, whirling pools of brine
Forming along the edge,
To outline the beach-shore,
That's torn.

IV.

Ragged, tiny lace skirts
Of the Sea
Spreading their scalloped edges
Over bare rocks
Covering their cinnamon faces;
Sheltering their black eyes
From the noon sun.
