The Southern Shore
by Richard L. Provencher

A neighbour child watches
from the hillside, open-mouthed harbour

teasing, gray dawn alive

pretends to be one of the tourists
recording digital sights on the Marine Trail

and our little man never tires, listening
to the ocean call, calling.

Surrounded by craggy shorelines and
tidal retreat, sand dunes blossoming

the boy admires the scenic montage, as
seagulls stall in flight, signatures prescribed

for shapely rocks, an Atlantic view.

Richard L. Provencher

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
