waxing lyrical strings
tied to the weary...

Candy floss, seaside rock, smoothies, and flags sporting
Union Jacks
Replace the old traditions of striped deckchairs 
And Kiss-Me-Quick hats.

was a quintessence of a woman
of ageless assurance and beauty

What WAS it?

1. Ripples in warm sunbeams dwell.
From a sandy cocoon I wake and stir.
A floater in the blue does knell,
A dot, a stain, a blackened blur.
Am I the only one who sees?
No, the beach is afoot...

Gun owners indiscriminately brandish
loaded firearms toward innocent victims,
and concomitantly excite

His feet upon his head,
