Notes About The Poem

Painting called The Beachcombers 

artist: Eve Roper painted on March 1992

Masterful Art

The art was most masterful on the dark canvas.
The intricate designs, having rich color crispness.
Blending strokes together, shades creating expression
Giving way to natural warmth of self-expression.

Clouds floating across the fess azure sky
Like sailing ships over serene sea going by.
On a sunny afternoon two barefooted boys
Beachcomb the beach, numb to surf pounding noise.

Leaving footprints behind unaware of the world around
Them, ignoring the resonant sonorousness sounds
Of the sea, and inland cold air ruffled hair.
They stand on golden sand, slight spume unaware.
