A dedicated space to ponder, reflect, and converse about life, literacy, and learning. Friday, August 7, 2015. Love a summer day, the south shore Long Island beaches that I frequent are special places of beauty. While there are many on Long Island, Jones Beach State Park has been renowned as a getaway destination since it opened in 1929. Designed by Robert Moses it became the mecca for summer beach going on Long Island for the middle class. Ode to the Sea. Then no again,. It can't be still. My name is sea.

Nix the comfort zone. Pushing my limits…writing, reading, running, photography, life…. August 7, 2015. Stringing a necklace of memories. I’ve been very mindful of this impending change and have stretched my own wings this summer, exploring on my own and embracing solitude as well as family time. As each experience has unfolded, whether solitary or familial, I’ve had the strongest, recurring sense that when I write about a moment, I’m creating a sort of memory bead. August 7, 2015 at 2:21 pm.

In response to Michelle Barnes’ DMC for April/Poetry Month, I’ve created two “echo-based” acrostic poems.

Exercising poetic license, I opted to assume the owl was fema...

I guess I'm on a roll with poems about the sea! Gazing out to sea,. I used to think the horizon. Was just a line,. But now I understand. That somewhere beyond it. Is where the farthest wave.

And pause to reflect that the sunlight far out. On the wild sea might be shining. Happy Poetry Friday, everyone! I&rsqu...
