I Suppose They Will All

i suppose they will all
be soon to depart
the danish girl
has removed her top
the germans will soon follow suit
the french girl
will arrive soon minus everything
there goes the male tourist
down the beach
time to stroll, exercise
amidst the breasts residing on the sand
isn't it funny
tables emptied of annoying badinage
i owe so many clear views
of Mexican beaches to Europe
but the sad aspect
is that amidst
all of this tropical beauty
the male tourist is unable
to rise above the preoccupation
of viewing breasts

myself, i prefer legs
they represent a short blip
a blink of the eye
to the pelicans coasting upon
the wave generated wind
the sky filled with marauding
magnificent frigates 
surfers hanging in for the wave
where they balance in nature
on a ride into shore
where some will banter me for a poem
i reply, your eyes (fill in color)
are birds who steal my thoughts
my breath, my heart
go away now
and it ain't look at that ass
it is a callipygous goddess
yes i wrote short love poems for them
and bettered their vocabulary

         San Blas   92

I laughed out loud to this very fine poem of yours Timothy. I'm always guaranteed that by the time I've read a Timothy Ray poem I will have learnt new and wonderful words. :) Callipygous! Lol! Who knew? I didn't but you've just bettered my vocabulary. :) Great work! Cheers - Gary

what was great.....translating into Spanish, so i also grew my usage of Spanish.....and in this one the Ave de Rapina, Bird of Prey, very macho.....succumbs to the power in her eyes....Just One Look by Doris Troy on Youtube.....what every Viking feared....the heaven in her eyes

thank you.....i still have my dictionary from those days....read from cover to cover, words marked in different colors for different meanings/usage....they swelled with pride when an American asked them...what does that word mean?
