I still have

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.

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.”

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.

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.
