Charming

Here by these shores Salty waves splash Certain and true Sun drenched boats Weathered afloat Forlorn in the wind Noisy seagulls chatter Endless cacophony On jetty rails Sea shells unearthed By looting children Shouting happy finds Kites in the air Following windy fancies Skyward faces glance Ice-cream pushcart Desserts for the hot day Long caterpillar queue Food fair stalls Fun fair atmosphere A family day affair This charity event here By this salty beach Hurls crowded commotions Even the seagulls Seem quiet now For humans are loud Salty air and midday sun Tan the skin tones To deeper shades Leon Enriquez 17 October 2014 Singapore
