Buoys Will Be Buoys by Bertie Brown

Buoys Will Be Buoys
original: 10 1/2"w x 13 1/"h

Lobster buoys afloat

As art dotting coves and boats

Decorating New England’s coast

With quirky colors its fishermen boast

And sublime northern light

Envelopes the sights

While dancing on tides

That toss those floats

From side to side

Cormorants and gulls line up on the rocks

By the boats, or the docks

As they noisily wait

For some leftover bait

Granite boulders edge the shores

Firm foundations that endure

An applauding boisterous sea
BRAVO!

What a glorious symphony!
