Some say “take it easy”
even if the sunshine is full in the sky
destination sun lounger is the place to be
after all, you’re not working for a week or two
time to enjoy the sunshine
elongated on your own sunlounger

#Tides
blue water beckons
you to come to the place where
sand and sea meet up
impishly playing
a game of tag with your toes
and leaving just as fast
Little waves bobbing
up and down in evening relay
Big wave is coming
Take heed of warnings
Big wave likes making a splash
note – you will get wet

Stood on the shore in their finest attire
Mum dad and little un
All leaving a trail on the sand
Looking out for the funny coloured seashells
Likelyhood is they’ll find you first
Crab like creatures
red, black or white
enter the range of view
as they pop up to say hello
taking a step left and sometimes right
until at last they
reach the waters edge
expect them to take a
sly nip of your wellies as they pass you
It’s that certain colour, that reminds you of your holidays
The colour of the sea at the certain time of day
up in the sky, when right foot dipped its toes to see if it was
ready to take a dip in the water, or
quench your thirst with a cool drink by the sands
under the water – the smallest of fishes circle your toes to say hello
out ahead – there’s great shoals – but this small shoals
intrigued by the sight of your feet
so you follow them into the warm blue green
enjoying watching them nibble at your feet – it tickles!

Childhood reminiscences
held by a moment
in grease proof paper
positioned in a way – that
seagulls didn’t spot the hidden treasures
barmcakes by Blackpool prom ?
yearly occurance – on the days they’d be testing the lights
toasty hot – fresh out of the fryer
helpings of salt and vinegar a must – but
every sauce under the sun is available for a small silver coin
By the seafront wall
enjoying the taste of battered cod and chips
as the waves gently lap against the sand
coming in ? the sea enquires – sorry i say, i’ve just got
hot – Maybe tomorrow…..as a tram passes by
#Napowrimo #Summer
They’re back out on the shore
ready to greet you all
as the weather turns warmer
deckchairs in their finery
in their special spots on the beach
the ice cream parlour is to the west and
in a few minutes, the punch and judy man will be
out with his stall….is it a
new thing ? No!….it’s an age old thing – like building
sandcastles
#fowc #plunge
In the warmth of a Roasting Grecian Sun
the cocky young adventurer
might have been forgiven by his elders
for trying to impress the maids sat by the beach
what he didn’t know
was the water that day was more arctic than athenian
and made his heart leap quicker than the girls
Three shells on the sand
Picked up in playtime
On a summers afternoon
One half of a home
That welcomed in guests
Before enjoying them for lunch
Crafty crustacean
Now nestled in his new home
A nautilus shell
Hiding away on the seabed
Is that the sand moving?
No, just another sea snail searching for lunch

Another Silouhette font poem by inky
Salford, 31st March 2020
A poem on the sun going down by inky – its been published by Forward Poetry, appeared on Luna’s blog at Lunatheblog.com and now its back home – enjoy the read………
The pebbles on the shore
were picked up and stacked
for skimming on the sea
Stacked with care
Precariously balanced
The wind made them wobble
The sun watched as
it created shadowy silhouettes
around the sandy shore
Till the tide began to turn
and the stack on the shore
alerted the little ones
The pebbles on the shore
told the children playing on the sand
it was time to go for dinner
