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 ? 23 June 2020 Swap Quatrain poetry contest Sponsor : Emile Pinet
