Sunset on the California Coast

hollyup (35) in goldenhourphotography • 7 years ago (edited)

The sun sets
over Southern California,

surfers line the water
like Canadian Geese
in V formation

The moon is but a pinprick
over the horizon

The tide rolls in
Better move those towels
to higher ground!

Peace
At one
with nature

I can't believe that I actually read 2 pieces of poetry and loved both - yours and Solomon's. Very different feeling from each one. Yours just generates a marvelous feeling of peace - especially the line 'the moon is but a pinprick over the horizon.' Great description.

Thank you, @katebenzin, I am very glad you liked it. It took me a while to realize that the little dot to the left of the sun actually was the moon. At first, I thought it was a lens flare. It's the first time I've ever published poetry, and I'm so glad it made you feel peaceful. That's how I felt writing it.
