About Me

My photo
My life as a multimedia artist, poet and creative writing instructor has brought me to a deep awareness of nature's importance in my life. Beginning each day with a walk in a wildlife sanctuary keeps me healthy and spiritually centered. I look forward to sharing my experience with others through my blog, Quiet Waters.

August Beach Days

In times when teenages were really young, they came in daily droves... In 57' Chevys Fan tailed Plymouths, and in red convertibles, laid back and free. The girls...they were girls then... packed in like lolipops...and yes, they knew just who might be on Beaches Six and Ten. Then, swinging beach bags laden down with Coppertone and swimming caps, they searched the crowded sand for a just perfect place to spread an Indian blanket down... to lie in oiled skin beneath the pulsing sun that beat, beat, beat down rays to the rhythm of the hearts below that skipped and shivered when a bronze- tanned Prince walked by with nose Noxema white and hair slicked back, all
Brill Cream cool.
