Lighthouse Poems


Tillamook Rock

by Kristal                         

 

Fire burning in the lighthouse

Storms put the fires out!

Ship’s captain

Won’t hit rocks

 

 

Yaquina Bay

Tall terrifying waves

Clean reflecting glass

Awesome, shiny, bright, protecting

Pelican Bay

So high, mirror shining bright

Towering, lighting and circling

Coquille River Lighthouse
by Joe

           
The waves are crashing on the lighthouse

The mirror is fogging up, gale winds

There’s a storm, the wind is whistling

The rain is making the lighthouse clean again

The fire is smoking up the room.
