Gifts From The Sea~

I was inspired to make little beach cookies while listening to some of my favorite French Sea songs..



They were fun to make.. Little cookie cutters are such handy tools..


I think I've mentioned my favorite poet when I was in College was Rod McKuen~
I still have some of his books..
This was always a favorite apart from many many more..

Gifts from the Sea


You see how easily we fit together,
as if God’s own hand had cradled only us
and this beach town’s population were but two
and this wide bed but a child’s cradle
with room enough left over for presents.
Tomorrow I’ll buy you presents.
Pomegranates and breadsticks,
tickets round the room and back
and red, red roses like everybody buys everybody.
Everybody’s got a diamond ring
And Sunday shoes.
Neckties and petticoats,
pistols and tennis balls.
What pleases you?
I’d hock my watch to buy you Greece
or sell my car to bring you rickshaws from Rangoon.
All they had down at the corner
were poppies with some lemon leaves.
They’ll have to do
till I can bring home Union Square.
I found a twenty-dollar bill when I was ten.
I bought a cardboard circus and a fountain pen
and a jackknife because I never had one before.
My mother thought I’d stolen the money.
I bought her perfume from the dime store,
She believed me then.
I was rich in those days,
for a week I had everything.
I wish I’d known you then.


I even had LPS(Don't laugh) I wish I still had them..The Sea..a whole set..In a big box..Sigh~
