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
