The Sad Siren Song
She wore necklaces of coral, strings of pearls embracing her body, glinting back at the broken sunlight scattered across the sea floor. Her glassy eyes gazed up, somewhat worried, somewhat mournful, longing to leap above the waves, to sing that chorus of birds passing by. Longing for her voice to take flight, uninterrupted by ships sailing by. She wasn't born a killer; just...

Sun, Sand and Sea
Walking barefoot along the beach the sun is setting over the waters and it paints the sky orange and pink. The wet sand squishes between my toes, I take a deep breath of the salty air close my eyes and listen to the squawk of the gulls and the waves lapping the shore. Enamored of the magical moon the waves of the...

Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea
“Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea” I walked again where I began, past fences worn, where gum trees ran— but now the tide had kissed the land, and waves rolled in like time unplanned. The house was there, but changed in tone, a quiet shell, yet not alone. The breeze...

Premium Member The Music of Waves
“The sea casts a magic spell with the ever- rising breakers and the melody, the clanking of waves produce. It amazes us with the wonders hiding within its caverns. Without drawing any boundary or barrier, it rushes to touch or submerge everything on its way”--- Quote by the Poet. What engrossing feel overpowers me, As I loiter along...

West Philippine Sea
A vast, restless blue, a heart that beats with the monsoon's pulse, a frontier, where sky and water wrestle, and islands, like scattered jewels, catch the sun's fire. Not just a sea, but a story etched in currents, a tapestry of tides, woven with the whispers of fishermen, and the silent, watchful gaze, of ancient reefs. A battleground of breath, where waves clash against the shore, a symphony of...

In April of nineteen twelve, a ship set sail so grand, A tale of wealth and power, a journey well-planned. Warnings were ignored, the ship sped through the night, Men on duty sleeping, Californian unaware of Titanic's plight. Steel and iron rivets, a mix of strength and flaw, A lie repeated often enough will often escape the law A plan, some...

Premium Member OUR LOVELY OLD SEA GRAPE TREE
We love to walk on Honeymoon Island…where the shoreline meets the sea. And no trip to Honeymoon Island would be complete without saying hello to our favorite tree. She’s a lovely old sea grape tree…she’s not tall or regal or grand… She’s kind of tiny and weathered but still stands proudly in the sand. Every time we greet her...
