Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Day At the Beach

Summer days
Great expectations
Torrid sun
Cool ocean breeze
Lounging on a sandy beach
Suntan lotion and bikinis
Scattered towels
Transistor radios
Picnic coolers
Fun and games
Flying frisbies
Bouncing beach balls
Laughter fills the air
Come on in
The water’s great

Kai Michael Neumann June 10, 2019 at 9:37 AM I will be going to the beach just now. And what amazes me most is that there is absolutely no plastic at Oliva Beach, just water and lots of fun ... Line Gauthier June 10, 2019 at 11:48 AM I'm all for that, Kai. Enjoy yourself!

Caren Krutsinger June 7, 2019 at 9:22 PM This part made me smile, for I figured you were talking about the 60's. "Transistor radios". I have not heard this term for over thirty years. Line Gauthier June 7, 2019 at 9:48 PM Had to sneak that one in there. That was about the last time I wore a bikini at the beach. LOL

Lindsay Laurie June 7, 2019 at 7:24 PM G'day Line … Oh, you forgot about sharks, jellyfish, flies etc. - haha. Oops sorry, I shouldn't spoil a day at the beach. I did enjoy your verse on this chilly morn Line - Lindsay Line Gauthier June 7, 2019 at 8:06 PM Of course, the sand ticks and the sunburn.

Timothy Mcguire June 7, 2019 at 4:22 PM Love it! Makes me long for the beach. Problem is though every time I lie on the beech they throw water on me and drag me into the ocean! ;0 Line Gauthier June 7, 2019 at 8:04 PM It's all in good fun! Timothy Mcguire June 7, 2019 at 7:17 PM Maybe! Not really I am weight height proportional! But it sounded funny! I cant resist a good funny! Line Gauthier June 7, 2019 at 4:27 PM LOL are you trying to tell me they think you are a beached whale. Ha Ha!
