Wtf

I rose early, to sit on the shoreline of the sea and watch the sunrise the salt air is refreshing on the lungs and the scent of the beach is earthy gulls and pelicans have already arrived and are squabbling over a morning meal of fish the waves are casually rolling toward me in usual fashion it is serene and peaceful as I enjoy the morning and see a thin red line on the horizon it is a perfect morning to wait for dawn and then I heard it, the roar of a jet engine as it crossed the sky shattering the peaceful ambiance of my senses the loud duck-like clatter of tourists plodding their way across my beach of peace tossing their metal lawn chairs about arguing over who paid what for breakfast my eyes rolled back and I whispered in my head as my neck bent down my eyes closed and WTF ran through my mind like an out-of-control locomotive 6/3/23 contest WTF sponsor John Lawless

yes, Frederic, a perfect segue into the ominous W T F moment. Beautifully written, nice imagery and a mixture of "show and tell". Thanks for entering the contest

Congratulations on your trophy win Frederic! Thought I had left a comment when I first read your poem. I really like the contrasts between solitude and "clatter of tourists!" Enjoyed your WTF. Blessings.
