Delightful Excersion

Fragile basket in one hand,
flip flops in the other. 
We stroll to the sea and
pop up the umbrella cover. 

Seagulls surround while
dogs frolic freely,
the ocean clear and vibrant
my eyes blue steely.

Strawberries brilliant red
Mangos sliced and fresh
Food that cools the tongue
the hot weather does not rest.

Peppered crackers 
topped with cheese
cold cold beer
while feel the breeze.

Time stands still
As we savor a peach
Nowhere to go
But our picnic on the beach.

That last stanza ends it in such a lovely way. Hmmm, of all the foods, I am most enchanged with those peppered crackers and cheese! Congratulations, Kristen

Congrats to you Kristen A picnic on the beach does sound refreshing-I am about 3 hrs from any beach here in Ohio. Wish I could sit in a chair on the beach and write and watch these dogs and seagulls frolic freely. Gwendolen
