"Good Morning, World!"

The Hawk Deck 7:54pm

Out on My Deck

with the porch lamp lit

to shine on My Page

I hear roar upon roar

from The Ocean

I cannot see

but I know It

to love It

& It is near enough

for Me

The Hawk Deck 11:11am

I stand before My Railing

in the calm

of this balmy winter day

The Chickadees call to Me

down in the scrub spruce

— A Crow alerts His Friends —

while My Kettle inside

boils

for A Second Cup

* First Cup of tea in My 18,000,000 Metre C2 Rowing Mug
