Best Sunbathers Poems

The humid Hawaiian heat hobbles my head and heart too,
Hitting as the Humvee high-tails past on the highway, 
Sweat seeps steadily south from scalp to shoes
Convection current cooking, keep pedaling, pores crying.

Howling Haleakala Headwinds hammer hard, 
Freezing face, fingers, and forehead.
Wistfully watching the warm water...

driving away
	from a long pristine shoreline
where waves roll upon sand
	corralled by crumbling cliffs

driving toward
	a haven for sunbathers
listening to ice cream vendor’s jingles
	on boardwalk backed beaches

In the rear view mirror
	 darkness touches the ground
out where thousands of freedoms
	shine in a sapphire sky

through the windscreen
	an orange glow...

In a coastal haven, a small beach town unfolds,
Where names are known, in warmth and tales retold.
Away from city's roar, tranquility is found,
Love and serenity, a comforting surround.

Upon the shore, devoid of sunbathers' claim,
Fishermen prepare, their boats in silent aim.
Seated on the sand, hear waves...

sunbathers turned to ice

The lake is a tsimmes; boats, babies, and fish bob in white wakes.
Ah but, the sandy shoal, the small fish nest beneath and beside the docks.
The lens of lake divides but   why chose when both are a joy?

Squeals of delight hang  ...

Travel on our steam railway and step back in time
Historic village at Cregneash it really is divine
Enjoy traditional Manx seafood the ’Queenies’ are sublime

Irish Sea surrounds us with its beautiful coastal paths and craggy cliffs
Sandy beaches see sunbathers and swimmers in the sunshine

There’s a little café on the beach,
With a vista of the Andaman Sea,
Where no rowdy children screech,
Nor hordes of adults disturb thee.

Plastic tables and wobbly chairs
Adorn this idyll of modest charm, 
A refuge for sunbathers in pairs
Or lone day-dreamers seeking calm. 

Bright-colored kites dot the...

wildflower meadow
as tall as a muntjac
cuckoo cuckooing
-
farmers haymaking
grasshoppers stridulating
don't touch a stinkbug
-
wood admiral glides
honeysuckle its host plant
humid the hot nights
-
warm is the river
fish rising leaping for flies
life seeking cool shade
-
inverted swimmers
water boatmen taking in air
cygnets follow pen

as fall approaches
swifts are well on their way

Blue waves of heaven
On a sunshiny day
Oceans of love           
Rolling your way
Scourging hot beaches
Clear bright blue skies
Sunbathers soaking
On the beach they sigh




Blue waves of heaven
On a cloudy day
Seas of water
Rushing your way
Rain drops falling
From the...

Sun, 
sunshine,
sizzling rays;
so splendidly
sending us summers sensational tan.

Sunbathers swallow in the sweet sunshine;
shorts, sandals, shades,
sunblock, and 
summers
sun....

Kitchen Is Open

A Hawaiian
sun blisters
fine grains of beached sand, unaware
to some assured wandering of tender
soles stumbled
swiftly altering
run judiciously

Prepared bodies
rotisserie spirals
evenly baked oily skins glistened among
beads of slippery sweats gliding loosely
suitably turning
perhaps sleepy
retreat reading

Dripping sunlight
rising sunbathers
the conclusive plunge followed by towel
rubdowns prompt a thorough cleanup by
everybody...

A big man
Stands
Roasted pink on the ocean beach
Unleashing his gut over his bathing suit
Holding a can of Miller Lite

Surely a used car salesman in real life

Shows off
In front of a group of friends
Lifts his free hand like the Statute of Liberty
To a flock of hungry...

White Christmas,
by: Irving Berlin


I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten, and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.


I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may...

One day an ancient barrel decided it had truly had enough as it tripped over a bale of hay on the staircase. ENOUGH he shouted ENOUGH. But the only thing to hear this cry was the walls and floors who looked on in hasty disregard....
