Rockport
...after Motif 1 by Rick Yenofsky
by Sharmagne Leland-St. John

The old red shack
Was built way, way back.
Everyone said it was true
But no one knew
Why they painted it red
Instead of black or blue!

Red shack, ancient dock,
Green pilings in front of granite rock.
Buoys cling limpet-like on clapboard walls
Roof damaged by winter squalls.

Rainbow-coloured dawn
Reflected on the ocean's calm.
