Beach Life

I sat on the wall and just. Watched
My mind and eyes danced to the fore
Shore
Waves of seas and souls who pranced
Jubilant
Was my expression

As impressionistic imprints imbedded in
Mind and sand and sea
Buckets of love and sand ebbed and flowed

Feathers flew, fled, fought for disregarded chips
And lay also
Lay as unwanted knickers on the tangerine sand

It was a knickerbocker glorious day
Of ice-cream cones and cream clad skin
Of towels, flip-flops
Bunny hops
Sandy hands and castles
Surrounded by murky, frothy, salted streams

For once the sky held little
Importance as
I was far to distracted by

Life

Your trip to the beach sounds idyllic Karen. So much more fun than a back yard pool in my opinion. Love your descriptions of all that's going on.

Thank you very much for reading and commenting Elizabeth .I must admit its only really the rover Thames but near the mouth of the sea but it is a great place to relax and enjoy. Thanks again....Karen
