Tiny Treasures by the Sea

precious works of art
remain forever priceless
as time ticks away

rocks and shiny shells
of all shapes and colors bring
joy to childlike hearts

sandy shore offers
troves of tiny treasures for
imaginations

smooth-as-silk green glass
in clay molded with fancy
edges shows vision

paintbrush through fingers
brows furrowed, concentrating
cherished masterpiece

tiny hands create
a piece of art, melting the
heart decades later

Our son made this
when he was little,
forever priceless. ❤️

The Mystery, Message, and Meditation

On May 25, 2022 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Haiku, Poetry35 Comments

listen carefully
breathe in, breathe out, letting go
your soul will thank you

secrets ride the waves
ebbing, flowing in deep blue
we are not privy

waves carry a vast
mystery with each whisper
we may not discern

Little Beach Boy (A Shadorma)

On October 25, 2017October 25, 2017 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Poetry28 Comments

I watch him
Sitting in the sand
His quest for
Adventure
Shines through the look on his face
Deep concentration

A slight breeze
Blows his light brown hair
As he digs
For treasures
My heart warms from his delight
A precious moment

(I learned about this poetry form at Ben’s site,
https://bennaga.wordpress.com/ and he encouraged
me to try a Shadorma, as well. I couldn’t think
of a new topic, so I revised an old poem from
when my son was little. ❤ I hope you enjoy, and
thanks for the nudge, Ben. It’s always good to
learn something new.)

Summertime

On July 15, 2015July 19, 2015 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Poetry15 Comments

Soft serve on a cone
Hot dogs at the fair
Popcorn at the movies
Adventures if we dare
Bikes on the streets
Longer days to play
Sunscreen on our noses
for a hike on any day
Surfers on a wave
Towels on the sand
Parties in the pools
Dancing to the band
Moonlit strolls for lovers
Cool drinks with lime
Oh, how we love you
Sweet, sweet Summertime

Solitude

On March 18, 2014 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Photography, Poetry, Writing33 Comments

With toes in the sand, head in the clouds
thoughts float by as I stand around
Waves come close to shake my hand
their gentle touch helps me understand
