Blackbird Island

 

Blackbird Island

has many trails.

 

Many long,

many steep.

 

If you find your way out

to the coast,

 

a sandy shore, a bank,

a rocky reach, don’t overreach—

 

Blackbird Island gives no more

than a sailor’s sleep.

 

Keep your cool, watch your step,

watch your leap—

 

she has many secrets

yet to keep.

Poetic Bloomings:  Are We Cool?

 

I took my inspiration from Blackbird Island in Washington state, though it isn’t treacherous or ominous.  Also, no birds were harmed in the making of this poem. :-P
