Come, let’s sit on strewn wishing rocks<\/p>\n
Skip a few pebbles if we may<\/p>\n
A cranberry wash will fill the sky<\/p>\n
Reflecting of rippled orange<\/p>\n
Of the silty bebble peach<\/p>\n
Listen to the sounds, breathe tidal wafts<\/p>\n
As seagulls caw in the breeze<\/p>\n
Ride the waves of merengue peaks<\/p>\n
Roll toward shore among lift wood dogs<\/p>\n
Let’s fire-roast dinner met with later wine<\/p>\n
A picnic where eelgrass tails the side<\/p>\n
Lay out a blanket with side teascape<\/p>\n
Photograph scenes of shales and whells<\/p>\n
Let’s explore the wrest caves<\/p>\n
Fill our buckets fathoms deep<\/p>\n
Let’s stand atop shoals of tigh hides<\/p>\n
String found scallops and clams<\/p>\n
On old fishing line<\/p>\n
Rest seaside with me like flounders<\/p>\n
Under a strong coastal lunar sync<\/p>\n
With our feet above the foamline<\/p>\n
Dance with me where molting crabs shuffled by<\/p>\n
In line with the bright moon’s glitter shine<\/p>\n
This salient joy shared beneath nautical stars<\/p>\n
Welcoming all the scoured ish and feels<\/p>\n
We are holdfasts with bubber roots<\/p>\n
Like limpets, we lock on to this time<\/p>\n
This is us, intertidal marine life<\/p>\n
Living off a salmon-rich coastline.<\/p>\n
Spoonerisms included:<\/p>\n
Pebble beach<\/p>\n
Driftwood logs<\/p>\n
Water line<\/p>\n
Sail the tide<\/p>\n
Whales and shells<\/p>\n
Tide seascape<\/p>\n
Wave crest<\/p>\n
High tide<\/p>\n
Fish and Eels<\/p>\n
Rubber boots<\/p>\n
\u2022 For those wondering, spoonerism is usually a two-word phase and is when the first letters of each word are exchanged. An example would be bunny rabbit becoming runny babbit, as in the book by Shel Silverstein. <\/em>The Capital City Weekly accepts submissions of poetry, fiction and nonfiction for Writers\u2019 Weir.
