A Winter’s Day On the Island

Walk the beach on a cloudless day
Circum-navigate tidal pools
Feet will get really wet anyway

Shells, crabs, the occasional dog,
Sniffing around a hollowed out log
Drive on home to the chores of the day

Boats in our backyard, fishing for
Same ones that grey old pelican
Swallows up quickly nearer to shore.

Fishermen motor off, calling it a day
Pelicans long since flew away.

Here we sit watching, dining late.
