Edward Ibeh Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

At the Seaside

A quiet 
but windy day 
at the seaside.

A family's out
lounging
in the morning sun;
one of the children
excitedly 
look for shells.

A surfer yonder
is riding the waves 
unceasingly splashing 
against the rocks
exploding 
like a tossed grenade;

taking it all in
at daybreak
a lifeguard on duty
