life above and below
haiku
giddy with whitecaps
wind-driven frenzied surface
hints of life below
winter sea gray
comment from Eileen gives author hope
haiku
winter sea gray, not
with malice but upheaval
renewing for spring
Oregon Coast, Lincoln City
January is always tremendous in white and gray.
unpacific storm
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren
wrathful waters
gray-green writhings
spouting white anger
in a beauty not to be touched
only witnessed from safe shore
Readers Comments: “I can feel the intense wind and spray coming ashore.” “I love the beauty of a stormy sea.” “I reread and LOVE this - except that it is SO Pacific, to be unpacific.” “Visiting the Oregon coast, were you? Great phraseology, MaryJane!” “You use words beautifully”
