Five palm trees stand mute
In the early morning light.
The sea moans softly.In midafternoon
The sea shimmers and sparkles.
Seagulls don't notice.

    Here's one for you...

    Birds wing 'cross the northern sky.
    Return to their northern home.
    One more year gone by.

    Sophomoric...maybe. After all, I was only 16, and a
    junior in high school. You were my teacher! (-:

    And yet another from that time....

    Spring blooms once each year.
    Brings forth flowers and birds sing.
    Wash away sad tears.

    Not bad for a 16 year old!

    Now...

    if the trees were leaning from the wind, and the waves
    were high with white caps...the mood would have changed
    from mute, peaceful, and "softly" to "loud," "bright"
    and "violent, " i.e. stormy as hell! Still 5, 7 and 5
    syllables would do it.
