Precisely the beauty

Victorians & cottages
All the peach colors
In a semicircle across the park from the ocean
The bandstand
Where Holly sang
Where all the angels all the peach colors
Sang
The painters
The poets
Potters
&
Preachers across the park from the ocean sang

a frown...

On the bay
A frown
Can come
& a frown can go
A snap in the air & a snap in the woodstove

Hopes
Tonight I will dream of a purple tree
Joy
& grace on the bay
& ruggedness

The tree
Down the hill
There's
Blues on a street near the river

Tap shoes
Paddle wheelers grizzle face gamblers

the writing shed...

Long tracts
Of
Flower
On the island
Under the poetry tree
The writing shed painted green
In a table in red
In a slat back chair
Crumpled paper strewn
Verse strewn
Words strewn
Love strewn
The wall boards screech in the east wind
The
Oil
Light
Flicks
In the window in front of the sea
Freezing
Rain
Outside the Hotel Lord Byron
Verse strewn
Words strewn
Love strewn
Under the poetry tree
In the writing shed
