Castle On the Beach
On pink beach,
with red feet -
Georgia peach
on hot Bahamas sand.
Green eyes - yellow with sun.
Warm beige flesh, lightly tanned.
Towels wet and gritty -
scented like coconut.
Hair’s scattered and pretty.
Teeny-tiny conch shells drip from ears —
ebb and flow of melodious waves.
Piña Colada with cherry cheers,
slice of pineapple and umbrella
in hurricane. Caribbean calm
in the salty breeze with her fella.
Her tongue peppered with a Southern drawl.
These lovers, about to get dirty —
pail and shovel build their castle wall.
