Peter Dome Poet Free verse

Day By the Sea

Fish and chips salty air
Big fat bottoms sat on stripy deck chairs
Sticks of rock candy floss and bottles of soda pop
Sand castles and buckets and spades
Dad with binoculars pretending to look out to sea
But looking at the bikini hot babes
Little child paddles in the sea
Little child has a pee
Ice cream and jellyfish 
Punch and Judy ventriloquists 
Bare flesh everywhere sea breeze tussles hair
Walruses laid on beach towels everywhere
Courting couples walking hand in hand
Games of cricket and Beach ball on the sand
Annoying music steaming from someone's radio
A scream goes out as a crab bites someone's toe
The smell of suntan lotion mixed with sweat
And the smell of cigarettes
Waves rolling upon the shore
A baby wanting it's diaper changing lets out a might roar
Burgers and hot dog's from a van
Guy's with muscles parading the beach as though saying to the girls
Look at me I'm all real man
As the girls giggle and wiggle
As the hot Sun smiles down
On a day by the sea.

Tim Smith May 29, 2015 at 4:35 PM Now that is a day at the beach...I have a confession when I got out of college. myself and 9 of my closest friend had season tickets to the Blackhawks Hockey games. We would bring binoculars and scan the crowd...passing them back and forth between us Peter Dome May 30, 2015 at 1:59 AM Ha ha. sounds like fun. at school I was watching the girls playing hockey outside of my class window. and was stood at a machine I had my elbow on resting my head in my hand lost in a a dream, and the machine caught my jersey and unravelled it.
