A Little Peaceful Poetry

Happy Poetry Friday! Today's poem takes us to the oceans' edge, as the morning symphony is about to begin.

My inspiration for today's poem:
Imagining I am at an ocean front cottage, early on a crisp salty morning, hands wrapped around a cup of hot coffee anticipating the sunrise. I open the door and take my seat in nature's auditorium, readying for the concert to begin.
Grab your coffee, pull up an Adirondack chair and enjoy. :)

Hope you will stop by the blog of this month's host, Irene Latham @ Live Your Poem, to see her lovely poem, as well as the other poets listed in her comments. It will be peaceful time well spent. Have a great weekend!

Beautiful! I've been there, at the ocean, coffee in hand, watching and listening to the incredible spectacle. Thanks for taking me back.
Cathy, I am here looking for the progressive poem. Please email me if you are having any trouble with posting your line.
Beautiful images, Cathy. I love watching the sunrise at the beach. I will think of your poem when I'm there this summer.
This has so much rich, specific imagery! For some reason, "halyards on masts" just made the scene click for me. Thank you for sharing!
Cathy, I could smell the salty air in your poem. How good is that? The soundscape of the seaside was captured with refreshing imagery. As someone who lives a short distance from the sea, I thank for reminding me of its transformative powers.
