from seed to plant grown 
out stretch sunbathed beauty done 
where do I go now...

There is a poetic reaction,
   when the sun touches you zealously,
   and kiss your muse body......

Castle in the sand

indicates the location

A buried treasure

where once we sat and sunbathed

Lost to a watery grave...

OVER-EXPOSURE

An immodest young fellow called Dan
Sunbathed nude for an all-over tan
The neighbours complained
So he was arraigned
And he spent the next year in the can

Gone are the days when I sunbathed in ease
   Drank lemonade, and did what I pleased
      Betrayed by the Autumn kissed sycamore trees
         Now ...I'm up to my shoulders in red and gold leaves!...

Jane in hot summer sunbathed in the nude,
she was on this day with her old friend jude,
Sun soon burnt both their bottoms red,
screaming for cover in they fled,
“what reason”said jude “shall I give my dude?”...

Dear, get me a cocktail, ... those fruity ones,
Me with no glasses, ... No miss, errs or runs,
saluting sounds of conscience
smoking fumes are obnoxious
he strayed, two sunbathed girls, "Dears, it's the guns."...

BASED ON A VERY OLD JOKE


Two widows sunbathed on a  beach
A nudist walks past hear them screech
He’s a well hung bloke
Old Maud has a stroke
but sadly her friend cannot reach

NB Sex on the beach is a cocktail

(Re old poems)



The luncheon of French bourgeoisie under frilly striped awning.
Young fair maiden, rosy cheeks- beguiling her eyes; leans on the railing.
Amidst fruits and undrunk wine in amorous air strokes dog, a wife.
Men look askance in yellow straw hats, faces muse in blazing whites.
Quivering tints alive on a terrace, evolve in sunbathed human life.

Based on Auguste Renoir's painting - ''Luncheon of the Boating Party''

Halogen hesitant glide incubates baskers
Hush worship horizontal, roasting rascals
Trust flail arms gleeful face of jack in box
Toast salt pepper toes opposed to office socks


Lopsided sway scintillates sea rolls repeat
Lumen seduce dons haughty top-hat heat
Haven from seasons, sunbathed succumb 
Hourglass conserve curdles cold’s equilibrium 



            
                  23rd June 
         Sultry Surfers Paradise
             in unfelt Solstice...

Live streaming in a window
Endorsed by nice nature
Flowers behind my closet
Amid the matching dew
From the sky.

An Epoch graced by wind
And cool cold cloud
But shabby role of many odds.

Noise from all corner
Oozing and ringing
Beeping and vibrating
Mucous and snoring
Amid the sunbathed foul
That host my nostril.

My front are meadows
My back are gutters
My right are winds
My left are forest
Yet rosy high up.

Fantastic down here,
coco, yam, ram 
And  welcoming glitters....

Patience with a Purpose

swans stood motionless
imitating spray painted flamingos
geese in the distance
mimicked a talk show panel
turtles sunbathed “sans sun block”
carp slithered in shallow mud
pickerel, unable to hide their toothy grins,
slyly awaited passersby
old bull frogs “harrumphed”
exchanging their glory days 
a stick figure Heron posed
patience… with a purpose
                                     ...……..a kayak respectfully floating past
