I’m not sitting on the dock of the bay
But this will certainly do
I have a ninth-floor hotel room
With a lovely ocean view
I left my home in Carolina
For a weekend in Daytona, F. L.
Hubby has a conference
And tagging along sounded swell
A flock of pelicans just flew by
And the tide is rolling in
I think I’ll rent a bicycle
And take it for a spin
Hours resting my bones
Or walking in the morning sun
Roaming away from home
Can be a lot of fun
But now the weekend’s ending
I remember I cannot stay
I wave goodbye to the pelicans
And the tide is rolling away

Poem evokes the song, and captures those moments where mood and view perfectly match. The mood is relaxed and lazy, but with a hint of passing time, the transience even of indolence and calm. Good stuff.
Thanks, Alan! I didn’t know my little old poem did all that! If you feel like contributing to this blog, please check under contact for further info!
