©2007 S.W. Haddock, JrBrackish water pools in stratified basins,
upon rock that was spewed from the ocean,
eons ago, continually sculpted by raging sea.
High atop this mass, man saw fit to build
a lighthouse and keeper's cottage, to warn,
forevermore, of these deadly sedimentary deposits.
And above all this, on a sunny summer day,
beneath a translucent blue sky,
we breathe deeply of the salty tang,
watch the scudding clouds
and dream of Yankee clippers.
