in Vallejo, California, across the river from Mare Island. Our first
publications were a local Gazette entitled, "The Sandy Beach
Gazette". Containing local news, a bit of prose and poetry by the
co-publishers Richard and Janet Scott.

From the Boathouse, looking across at the former fishing shacks of
Sandy Beach which were originally built in the 1800's. Jack London
used to play poker at the age of 16 in the shack on the pier directly
across the water . Unfortunately, the shack was torn down in the early
1980's and replaced by a mini-mansion as a vacation home for a
socialite San Francisco couple. It should have been declared a
Historical Landmark. Oh well, money talks and bull pucky walks !

She walks in the moonlight yet

hidden she

hears

Sounds that surround the path

that she will

choose

Reflections shine in the water

from far up

above

Silvery and shimmering rippling

ashore

She can’t pull herself away still

wanting to see

Smells of the brush that slightly

tickling her

skin

Awaken the half dreamlike world

she finds

herself in

Night blooming jasmine so

pungent follow

and linger

Aromas that pass on ahead and

cling in the

moment she’s in

Mixing with honeysuckle and

roses with a

lavender twist

Night’s chill air a relief from the

day’s hot

sojourn

Brings a shiver of pleasure along

with goose

bumped appendages

Making the light shawl pull a

little tighter

around the frail body

Alas it ends alone on the shore to

recover her

senses to head her

home

Blossoms catch moonlight

savored in glass

jars near

windows she sleeps

In the Moonlight
