Poem
One summer morning on the beach she spies her friend, and runs to greet this lovely child, in solitaire, with a parasol and silken hair. A cherub look upon one's face, while the other smiles, still filled of grace But both are feeling young at heart and can't resist the sand and surf Too soon the whimsy of the day has led them closer to the bay The warm sand and the sea agree to join the ocean's windswept breeze to make their visit more replete with gifts of summer's sweet retreat Perfection offers them a chance to laugh and plot, and take a glance If no one's looking, they can shed their shoes and stockings, free their feet then tiptoe in and shriek in glee! They feel each ripple undertone which tickles toes, and chills their bones and licks the hems of petticoats In pastel shades of vast array they seem two flowers, wild bouquets that dance among the white-washed hue of tide pools blue, and morning's dew Two flowers sprouting here and there cavorting along the sandy shore Until again, it's time to go And though, restrained, as secrets go they must again be proper girls ------------------------------------------------------- 6/20/16 Contest: The Red Parasol by Alfred Glendening Sponsor: Eve Roper
