ORCHARDS

white blossoms 'dorn the apple trees
much like a wedding gown
I watch them falling in the breeze
like pinwheels floating down
       sweet snow upon the ground

     STORM

the wind has circled the island
the sea has changed its course
great waves sculpting the softer sand
lambastes the shore with force
                it seems without remorse

beside clinging vetch
are golden trumpets waking
lift their arms to stretch
           poets wit nor feathered quill 
           have improved the daffodil


flowers of the sea
rainbows of the waxing tide
bright enemone
       all the colors you display
       dancing in a sea ballet

on a  distant plane
smoke is mingling with the clouds
burning bright the cane
            harvesting the sugar crops
            sweetening the candy shops
