Jersey Shore

Back Home Doldrums (SIC20)

by chrishancock789 on July 17, 2020July 16, 2020

Time to sleep,
Can’t manage the effort to get off the couch,
I’ll just stay here,
Dreaming through the night
With my twitching and yelping dog.
Until next year…

Changes In the Wind (SIC19)

by chrishancock789 on July 16, 2020July 16, 2020

Life interrupting times
Winds nipping at my cup of joe
Vacations ending seems such a crime
Reality setting in means it’s time to go

Shutting Down (SIC19)

by chrishancock789 on July 15, 2020July 15, 2020

The sunny days down here are long
At the end, you can’t go wrong
By taking a nap on a couch,
For which my dog is no slouch.

Friend or Foe (SIC18)

by chrishancock789 on July 14, 2020July 14, 2020

A morning walk, as is our habit
Interupted today, by a rabbit
My dog at attention ready to play
The bunny took off fearing a stay.

Breakfast (SIC17)

by chrishancock789 on July 13, 2020July 13, 2020

They say morning rituals help
Breakfast may seem mundane
But if the waves I am to skelp
I better load up with high octane.

Pace (SIC16)

by chrishancock789 on July 12, 2020July 13, 2020

Sun on a run,
Shining brightly on my head,
A pace that more than fun
Leaving my legs half dead.

Never Down (SIC15)

by chrishancock789 on July 11, 2020July 11, 2020

Routine is settling in
Better here than at home
Even in boredom I have such a grin
Because at the Shore a mind can roam.

A Named Storm (SIC14)

by chrishancock789 on July 10, 2020July 10, 2020

Everyday cant be won,
Tropical storms are that way,
I need a break from the sun
Mother Nature is helping today.

Relaxed (SIC13)

by chrishancock789 on July 9, 2020July 9, 2020

Days of enjoying the sun
Leave a soul in need of a rest
All the food, all of the fun
Even my dog knows this is the best.
