Mike Miller Poet Quatrain

A Summer Nights Walk

By coloured lights, the bay is lit, 
In evening breeze, they dance and flit, 
Arms linked we walk, enjoy the sights
The bay is lit by coloured lights. 

Young lads are diving from the pier, 
They somersault and have no fear, 
Grinning, laughing, youth is thriving
From the pier, young lads are diving. 
 
In beachside bars, we drink red wine
Push back our chairs, relax, recline, 
Look up to see the melting stars, 
We drink red wine in beachside bars. 

A smile, a kiss, a soft embrace
The  silken scarf that frames your face, 
Can there ever be such bliss ? 
A soft embrace, a smile, a kiss ?
