Port Bickering Harbour, Nova Scotia

Our ferryboat’s alert, slap
of restless waves
anxious, hear the engines pout
powerful, surrounds the bay

tourists excitedly
arouse these placid waters

where jellyfish abound
in roaming numbers,
their orange façade
reaching with listless
tangle, wondering
what’s about

we know, we
capture the harmony,
sun’s reflecting light
eye-squinting calm-

Nature’s casual march
across our brow.

Hello Nathan, your sincere comments are precious. I feel it important to me to share my published poems, since many were in magazines, some of which are folded, and others only had a small following, perhaps several hundred. I am honoured to have a new generation read and appreciate my work. Thank you. Some folks have asked me how long it takes to write my poetry. Some take ten minutes, many two hours, and yet I have spent as long as ten hours on a twenty line poem. Each collection of words from the heart requires various stages of massaging. The best, Richard LP
