POETRY AND PHOTOS

Fabliau of Florida

by Wallace Stevens


Barque of phosphor
On the palmy beach,

Move outward into heaven,
Into the alabasters
And night blues.


Foam and cloud are one.
Sultry moon-monsters
Are dissolving.


Fill your black hull
With white moonlight.

There will never be an end
To this droning of the surf.





Since I just returned from the northeastern part of Florida, I thought I'd share a couple more photos and this lovely poem.


I also want to thank my new followers :)  I am not at 129.  Most of the newest ones I haven't featured yet do not have blogs so I'll wait until I get 3 or more and then share with you all.

The sea is always of great fascination and inspirations. in my younger days I went to Daytona different times , and I still clearly remember the magnetism of this immense sea.

Don't forget invisible me--you have 130 followers. Nice poem and photos. The crow painting from yesterday is looking great.

Yes, there is something hypnotic about watching the waves rolling in and out - you can spend hours just sitting and looking and doing nothing else :)

Didn't forget you, Hallie. I wonder if you are still in the count there - will have to check :)
