The Pyramid of Monhegan
by Bruce McMillan
Uncovered by the tidal flow
among the gritty shifting sand
a pyramid emerged to show
a perfect place for algae and...
...the Egypt of Monhegan Isle
where lobster fisher Pharaohs float
their dinghies on Monhegan's Nile
to rule the ocean under boat.

Bruce I love all of your poems and art. You inspire me. I write poems but I can't think of how to illustrate them.

Thanks Betty, I often start with the image and the idea and let the words bounce around to where I'm going. -Bruce
