Quarter moon, low tide.

Spring sap moon beckons the sea back in.

 

A lacework retreat across winter stonebeds.

Rockscape scopes the air,

hammer pit pewter and button, glistening. 

 

A quarter moon ink-skirt in the neap.  A shoal

wave champagnes gold to silver

bursting through sun-blot pinks

like it is Holi,

 

in the boat bobbing next to mine – pirate inks

watering the flowering pebbles

of Spring.

 

The worm moon shines

well below the ice shelf melt, 

where March harvests her full moon fortunes 

for when the tides roll in.

It is WONDERFUL to read more of your marvellous  poetry!

"Rockscape scopes the air,
