Day At the Beach

Listen to poem:

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 Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~RANDOM MUSINGS VOL.1~ 2020 AP: Honorable Mention 2020, Front Page Pick 2020 Posted on June 6, 2019

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 ...

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.

Had to sneak that one in there. That was about the last time I wore a bikini at the beach. LOL
