I still have

relive those days & nights 

                          in my head.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height 

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight 

I love thee with the breath, 

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, 

I shall but love thee better after death.”

LARCHMONT NY

FIVE BEACH

CHILMARK “My Small place by the sea.Drive out windy dirt roads.Lined by white oak ,sequoia,beech and birch. PAST towns Tisbury Long point Oak bluff the carousel cottages. To ‘my bungalow by the sea.Windows open.Views from kitchen: hickory, pine, juniper.Seashore sounds,echo.Essence salt air, mist Painted pine Wood old and new Blanched floors Bleached shingles Nautical flags flutter,askew Golden meadows wildflowers flourish Posy,Bluebell, bitter-weed Barefoot,denim cutoffs

down the path stone & sand Head through the dunes tones khaki & wheat

Sprinkled with sweet pea,sea heath & heather. Bouquet of cedar,shrub pine & sage.

ROSA Ragusa strewn. RED Adirondacks,straight uniform.Old timber: silver remote scattered.Shifts of tides seaweed,driftwood.I sit down by the shore stone and cold sand In the late August sky.Watch the summer slip by. Fishing season menemsha exhausted.Sailing lessons complete Bon fires on stone rock pits in the distance ablaze spit spew ashes on the atmosphere. I listen to the muffled tones children in the sand.Summer worn, bleached out.Sun salt drenched tones Wind blown tangled strands of wheat & Khaki. As they silently gather seashells A serious quest Heirlooms from the sea. Their ‘legend their ‘legacy. School days approach. Once seemed so remote.Time beckons.Along the waters edge:Dogs run,bandannas fly, tails wag ,tongues hang out.Seagulls swoop and scream.Crash a shell on a rock or two.The water is cold steel grey strength,swell wave,splash foam,sprayI sit by the seashore.Imperial sky : midnight Suns retreat on the horizon Mahogany FIRE BRONZE TO GOLD. August sky: striking, somber, noble.Lonesome tones.Echoes resound.Summers end.Heralds the SEASONS.Autumn Winter sky.Reflection,dream.Times by the sea. AUGUST NIGHT CHILMARK.DUKES COUNTY

JOSEPHINE

Josephine Wind from the northwest Veils the Irish Sea

Tempest, gust, gale Over and through midlands ,grasslands, verdant greenGranite mountain fringe, vestige an Ice age:glacier, crater, rock.Rugged, Remote, Isolated.

She moves East churns and chimesOver Bogs of moss and peat.Through Elms,Forest Spruce.She pounds with waves:The weather beaten,whipped wilderness.She journeys on over Belfast,Londonderry.Moves past Christ’s Cathedral, Sea point,tombs,grand canals.Down the valley,over Mount Donegal,Kerry.Through the Reeks of MacGillicuddy.She Sighs in the streets of Dublin.West through Waterford Wexford Kildare and Tipperary.She exhales over lakes and marsh of drift and shale.Blows over Fields of Irish orchid and sundew.She Stirs the farmlands-heifer,angus.The fox,hare, hound,feel her fury.Derby thoroughbred skitter and canter.She gusts over fields of timber wool linen and lace.Through chimney sweeps:ashes,embers.She blows over meadows: foxglove,belle heather.Saturates the Irish Sea, the Shannon River.

She hovers over-town folk, pubs and the like:Verse, Story, Song of Glory: O’ Brien, O’Doyle, O’Shaunessy.Her tenet of love filters the minds swells in the hearts:

Beckett,Swift.Joyce and Yeats.Harris,O’Hara,She plays to the dance of the river,the fiddle,the harp.No mice of men snakes on the river withstood St.Patricks surge.

Dreams goddesses limericks a pot of gold in the wind.She tolls from Reigns of Kings:Henry the VIII and James.The Crown,Kingdom ,echoes of years gone by.

She billows under the bronze, violet sky.Through the Northern lights, starry night.

Alongside the flight of the lapwing.Her whispers far reaching: winds, waves, fog ,mist.

Her decree VAST: Descendants,Ex patriots.Her heritage,legacy,singular. Remote,Eternal,Ethereal.Land of the Lost. The Trinity. Temptress, Enchantress, Mistress of the Irish Sea.

TREVOR

Rainy day

Wrap on the door

It is Sam

JoJo

Let’s head to the rescue shelter

Find a pup for the kids

You help me choose

You never loose

With all the pups

you have rescued

I trust

Your point of view

a must.

Off we go

No children in toe

We head in

View the dogs pups in pin

Always

Sadness the heart

sorrow their eyes

need to hold strong

So we can bring the children their prize

We meander up and down the lane

There is one I feel for certain

will be gentle easy to train

Out we go

pup in tow

I go to bed that night

Blankets all askew

I can’t get one pup out of my minds sight

All legs shaggy toss of puppy hair

His sorrowful plight

Next am

Early morning sun

Honk honk in front of my place

I go to the French door

Look down the balcony slate floor

At my door

It’s Jeff my chum

‘JoJo

‘Let’s go for a ride

We cruise down beach drive

Across the morning tide

Hood down air light

Manor park such a beautiful sight

I say to Jeff

Can you do me a favor

Take me back to the dog pound

He looked at me eyebrow up

Not much voice or sound

Then, only ‘JoJo

Please ‘Jeff

I saw a pup he caught my eye

Let’s visit and see

Who he may have hopes to be

Off we go

Jeff and I

He continues to look my way

a quizzical eye

We enter the place once again

I see the pup in his pin

I say to the man

May I take him out

He puts a leash around his snout

‘Jeffery

‘I love him

Jeff leans his car

cigarette in hand

A rebel heart

Street smart

Surveys the situation

‘JoJo

What are you thinking

‘He’s shaggy thin timid shy

I say Jeff he’s gorgeous through and through

So out we go pup in toe

He’s on my lap

Hood down cool air flow

I get him home

bath bubble spray

To wipe away

All grime and residue

I dry him down

Blanket on floor

Bowl of milk

He seems a little sore

I rub his back long puppy legs

He gently falls asleep

Out I go

To get him a bed bowl leash

As he sleeps

I arrive home

I set up bed blanket crate bone

He stirs with my arrival

‘Hey bud

Looks at me with hazel eyes

I kneel by his bed pat his head

‘I have a gift for you

He rumbles awake

Out I take

A red collar

Knowing he will get taller

I put the collar on him

He is so thin

I fix him warm kibble

He begins to nibble

Then a biscuit or two

I say let’s go out

Leash on

To the park

So we start

He smells the grass

Stops by the water

Timid tentative

he begins to gently saunter

Raise his head

Looks about

I hold gently his snout

All leg and paw that’s I all I saw...

I bring him home

Blanket and bone

Happiness arises

Such a wonderful gift

a grand prize

Little did I acknowledge his size

Legs and paws

long and large

For a pup his age

Doesn’t matter he seems a royal sage

As I work about

I think of a name

He seems so gentle and tame

I decide on Trevor

The days go by

He’s always by my side

He grows into his tail

He grows into his legs

He grows into his paws

He grows and grows awkward at first then regal to no fault

To my surprise

I realize

He is an Irish wolfhound

I have found.

He loves to lumber about

I love to pat his back and snout

He loves the sun in the manor

to hang by the french door

Sun on his neck

He Innately guards the court

He is so grand

I love him in my home my fort

Still a pup

I watch him from the kitchen door

A bone in his mouth he takes

Places in a dirt heap to keep

Nose digs and digs covers the bone

He walks away all pride and joy

Little does he know I can still see the bone

His favorite toy

He’s not much of a swimmer

More timid by nature and soul

Loves his blankets balls bowl

He’s a gentle giant

Heart of gold

With much pride

I watch his beauty destiny unfold

When Jeff comes by

Trevor meanders over by his side

Jeff puffs his cigarette boots tattered jeans

A tattoo or two

He pats Trevors head.

Says what a gentle king

we did find.

Heart of armor

grand noble and proud.

TREVOR

To my years with Trevor

My Irish wolfhound love.

                          in my head.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height 

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight 

I love thee with the breath, 

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, 

I shall but love thee better after death.”

FIVE BEACH

CHILMARK “My Small place by the sea.Drive out windy dirt roads.Lined by white oak ,sequoia,beech and birch. PAST towns Tisbury Long point Oak bluff the carousel cottages. To ‘my bungalow by the sea.Windows open.Views from kitchen: hickory, pine, juniper.Seashore sounds,echo.Essence salt air, mist Painted pine Wood old and new Blanched floors Bleached shingles Nautical flags flutter,askew Golden meadows wildflowers flourish Posy,Bluebell, bitter-weed Barefoot,denim cutoffs

down the path stone & sand Head through the dunes tones khaki & wheat

Sprinkled with sweet pea,sea heath & heather. Bouquet of cedar,shrub pine & sage.

ROSA Ragusa strewn. RED Adirondacks,straight uniform.Old timber: silver remote scattered.Shifts of tides seaweed,driftwood.I sit down by the shore stone and cold sand In the late August sky.Watch the summer slip by. Fishing season menemsha exhausted.Sailing lessons complete Bon fires on stone rock pits in the distance ablaze spit spew ashes on the atmosphere. I listen to the muffled tones children in the sand.Summer worn, bleached out.Sun salt drenched tones Wind blown tangled strands of wheat & Khaki. As they silently gather seashells A serious quest Heirlooms from the sea. Their ‘legend their ‘legacy. School days approach. Once seemed so remote.Time beckons.Along the waters edge:Dogs run,bandannas fly, tails wag ,tongues hang out.Seagulls swoop and scream.Crash a shell on a rock or two.The water is cold steel grey strength,swell wave,splash foam,sprayI sit by the seashore.Imperial sky : midnight Suns retreat on the horizon Mahogany FIRE BRONZE TO GOLD. August sky: striking, somber, noble.Lonesome tones.Echoes resound.Summers end.Heralds the SEASONS.Autumn Winter sky.Reflection,dream.Times by the sea. AUGUST NIGHT CHILMARK.DUKES COUNTY

JOSEPHINE

Josephine Wind from the northwest Veils the Irish Sea

Tempest, gust, gale Over and through midlands ,grasslands, verdant greenGranite mountain fringe, vestige an Ice age:glacier, crater, rock.Rugged, Remote, Isolated.

She moves East churns and chimesOver Bogs of moss and peat.Through Elms,Forest Spruce.She pounds with waves:The weather beaten,whipped wilderness.She journeys on over Belfast,Londonderry.Moves past Christ’s Cathedral, Sea point,tombs,grand canals.Down the valley,over Mount Donegal,Kerry.Through the Reeks of MacGillicuddy.She Sighs in the streets of Dublin.West through Waterford Wexford Kildare and Tipperary.She exhales over lakes and marsh of drift and shale.Blows over Fields of Irish orchid and sundew.She Stirs the farmlands-heifer,angus.The fox,hare, hound,feel her fury.Derby thoroughbred skitter and canter.She gusts over fields of timber wool linen and lace.Through chimney sweeps:ashes,embers.She blows over meadows: foxglove,belle heather.Saturates the Irish Sea, the Shannon River.

She hovers over-town folk, pubs and the like:Verse, Story, Song of Glory: O’ Brien, O’Doyle, O’Shaunessy.Her tenet of love filters the minds swells in the hearts:

Beckett,Swift.Joyce and Yeats.Harris,O’Hara,She plays to the dance of the river,the fiddle,the harp.No mice of men snakes on the river withstood St.Patricks surge.

Dreams goddesses limericks a pot of gold in the wind.She tolls from Reigns of Kings:Henry the VIII and James.The Crown,Kingdom ,echoes of years gone by.

She billows under the bronze, violet sky.Through the Northern lights, starry night.

Alongside the flight of the lapwing.Her whispers far reaching: winds, waves, fog ,mist.

Her decree VAST: Descendants,Ex patriots.Her heritage,legacy,singular. Remote,Eternal,Ethereal.Land of the Lost. The Trinity. Temptress, Enchantress, Mistress of the Irish Sea.

TREVOR

Rainy day

Wrap on the door

It is Sam

JoJo

Let’s head to the rescue shelter

Find a pup for the kids

You help me choose

You never loose

With all the pups

you have rescued

I trust

Your point of view

a must.

Off we go

No children in toe

We head in

View the dogs pups in pin

Always

Sadness the heart

sorrow their eyes

need to hold strong

So we can bring the children their prize

We meander up and down the lane

There is one I feel for certain

will be gentle easy to train

Out we go

pup in tow

I go to bed that night

Blankets all askew

I can’t get one pup out of my minds sight

All legs shaggy toss of puppy hair

His sorrowful plight

Next am

Early morning sun

Honk honk in front of my place

I go to the French door

Look down the balcony slate floor

At my door

It’s Jeff my chum

‘JoJo

‘Let’s go for a ride

We cruise down beach drive

Across the morning tide

Hood down air light

Manor park such a beautiful sight

I say to Jeff

Can you do me a favor

Take me back to the dog pound

He looked at me eyebrow up

Not much voice or sound

Then, only ‘JoJo

Please ‘Jeff

I saw a pup he caught my eye

Let’s visit and see

Who he may have hopes to be

Off we go

Jeff and I

He continues to look my way

a quizzical eye

We enter the place once again

I see the pup in his pin

I say to the man

May I take him out

He puts a leash around his snout

‘Jeffery

‘I love him

Jeff leans his car

cigarette in hand

A rebel heart

Street smart

Surveys the situation

‘JoJo

What are you thinking

‘He’s shaggy thin timid shy

I say Jeff he’s gorgeous through and through

So out we go pup in toe

He’s on my lap

Hood down cool air flow

I get him home

bath bubble spray

To wipe away

All grime and residue

I dry him down

Blanket on floor

Bowl of milk

He seems a little sore

I rub his back long puppy legs

He gently falls asleep

Out I go

To get him a bed bowl leash

As he sleeps

I arrive home

I set up bed blanket crate bone

He stirs with my arrival

‘Hey bud

Looks at me with hazel eyes

I kneel by his bed pat his head

‘I have a gift for you

He rumbles awake

Out I take

A red collar

Knowing he will get taller

I put the collar on him

He is so thin

I fix him warm kibble

He begins to nibble

Then a biscuit or two

I say let’s go out

Leash on

To the park

So we start

He smells the grass

Stops by the water

Timid tentative

he begins to gently saunter

Raise his head

Looks about

I hold gently his snout

All leg and paw that’s I all I saw...

I bring him home

Blanket and bone

Happiness arises

Such a wonderful gift

a grand prize

Little did I acknowledge his size

Legs and paws

long and large

For a pup his age

Doesn’t matter he seems a royal sage

As I work about

I think of a name

He seems so gentle and tame

I decide on Trevor

The days go by

He’s always by my side

He grows into his tail

He grows into his legs

He grows into his paws

He grows and grows awkward at first then regal to no fault

To my surprise

I realize

He is an Irish wolfhound

I have found.

He loves to lumber about

I love to pat his back and snout

He loves the sun in the manor

to hang by the french door

Sun on his neck

He Innately guards the court

He is so grand

I love him in my home my fort

Still a pup

I watch him from the kitchen door

A bone in his mouth he takes

Places in a dirt heap to keep

Nose digs and digs covers the bone

He walks away all pride and joy

Little does he know I can still see the bone

His favorite toy

He’s not much of a swimmer

More timid by nature and soul

Loves his blankets balls bowl

He’s a gentle giant

Heart of gold

With much pride

I watch his beauty destiny unfold

When Jeff comes by

Trevor meanders over by his side

Jeff puffs his cigarette boots tattered jeans

A tattoo or two

He pats Trevors head.

Says what a gentle king

we did find.

Heart of armor

grand noble and proud.

TREVOR

To my years with Trevor

My Irish wolfhound love.
