national guardsmen
lulled by the waves
keep their focus skyward
and
island drifters
flitting about
Island’s border patrols

Response to Carpe Diem #1508 Easter Island’s music of the Rapa Nui
with the ever-changing tide
her ancient voice
carries true on ocean waves

Response to Carpe Diem #1507 Folk music of the Faroe Island
passions
grounded…and still
defying gravity –
fiery apparitions

Response to Carpe Diem #1506 Tango … passionate music from Argentina
island celebration
erupts with
dancing flames
and
dancing in ecstasy
where frothy waves slap black shores –
Hawaiian dancers

Response to Carpe Diem #1505 Haku Mele, the music of Hawaii
haunting notes
from dark shadows
beauteous stranger
soul of torment
pens fiery ballads
in private bliss

Sedna, great Inuit goddess
always watching
her ever-changing domain

where bluest oceans
instinctively meet
cerulean skies
Sedna marks
early signs of spring

Response to Carpe Diem #1503 The Music of the Inuit
without mercy
shining stars
devoured by
uncaring ocean tides
and
frothy high tides
lash mercilessly at
unexpected lovers
or
beloved lovers
sleep eternally
in the deepest blue
haiku
Response to Carpe Diem #1502 The Star of Logy Bay, Canada
distant frequencies
observed
in its natural state
pulsated throughout time
within wispy black-blue veils –
ancient melodies
tanka
Response to Carpe Diem #1503 The Music of the Inuit
a quaint fiddle
tells a story
in staccato arrangements
