This is a poem that appeared years ago on a site for Morro Bay. I wrote it after visiting the quaint California town.

Morro Rock

Beneath a blue dome, above an azure sea
A volcanic prodigy stands proudly to the heavens
Caressed by the tide, encircled by a cloud of feathered hunters
Nature’s landmark beckons a sojourn for all sea-drained travelers
Its base, a dozen vessels strong; its peak, a half-score of stacked masts
Those at shore stand and marvel
The brilliance of the bay
The uncompromising grandeur and enchantment of Morro Rock
