Sea Shells in White (Extant Collabo.)

ocean waves crest
tumble into foam . . .
a shorebird stares

sea shells in white enthroned
beckon the traveler

gift necklace
and matching earrings
first dance

fond memories . . .
lady-in-waiting

she wraps her sweater
tighter to her body
Hunter's moon

the fawn cries out
the wind responds

crimson leaves
in the chilly air
a young man frowns

resolutions
Christmas cactus about to bloom

anxious children
with sleepy eyes
stolen kisses under prickly boughs

tryst on Whistler Mountain
hard-packed snow trails

an ivory blanket
covers the mountain
downhill racer's paradise

shadow-chasing
night skiers

another frost
pots on the porch
with flattened runners

brightly adorned barbless hook
the passing steelhead

`foot-loose
and fancy-free'
shopping spree

freckled face & pony-tails
. . . top shelf out of reach

overhanging
forsythia --
golden stars

risen Saviour ...
bells, rejoicing

This collaboration was done in 1993. I just really enjoyed how this poem flowed. A lot of the words they used were nice and flowed together nicely.
