A seaside stroll soothes your soul


Forever won’t understand those who can’t stand sand between spanned toes

Clever bands of hourglass strands slows & then through fanned hands flows

Whatever woes foes weather throws our duty never this beauty booty forgoes  


Skilled kids build guild of silica Basilicas in a row the sea rids closes in overthrows

Waves then mow rave to & fro saline scarves pave new paths the ocean bestows

Commotion heightened emotions brightened notions enlightened its potion glows 


Kaleidoscopic schools of iconic rock pools colours flock shock as almost tropic

Views & hues don’t falter just alter won't halter as an altar to ease those blues

Tidal tows doze then rose grows tease with unctuous but rambunctious blows 


A beach can preach beseech as each single shingle does mingle in a stony knoll

Seaside stroll as sea gulls glide white caps roll & ride then a lull soothes the soul


Flattered Neptune’s role shattered shells scattered or is it Poseidon’s control

Webbed ranks of ebbed sandbanks lapped by lullabies our own private atoll


Thanks for phalanx of mirth & pranks from mother nature’s glimmering vaults

Shimmering seals leave their berth heave their girth then those crests do surf

Dolphins fins spin big grins senses halts & assaults with immense somersaults


What riffs could be a good as being stood in a neighbourhood of driftwood

Whiffs of whimsy as swells rollick for shells we fossick our elemental tonic


Cliffs adorn scars of scorn by time foreshore gentry stands sentry well worn    

Don't mourn as from dawn till dusk forlorn foresworn somehow feel reborn  

Sniffs sublime seaweed frolic fish like stars sunbeams & daydreams bucolic
