from inkdrop – poetry, places and events
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

Early morning
calm before the chaos
watching the sun pop its head
above the waterline
catching those precious
early morning rays
watching her shadow like a little girl
as she leaves footprints in the sand

When i see you around
i’m reminded of warm summer days
and the waters of the ocean
lapping the sandy shore
Attracting the sportsmen
playing about for fun
in their watersports gear
Motorboats and Jetskis
tearing a white wave
through your dark blue waters
Your Colours more deep
than your Mediterranean cousin
but seamen still hang around your deep shades
hoping to land that one in a million catch
Sole observer watching by the shore, as
hopping and skipping towards the beach
in a race to get to him
many of Neptune’s and Ra’s children
move hop skip and jump creating colourful patterns
each one hoping they’ll get there first
racing bring smiles to all who see it

When i was little, i used to go
Out with mum and dad , and take in the
Natural beauty of the coastal beaches and amassed hillsides nearby
Dipping a toe in cold water and
Enjoying a walk
Round the bays, looking for interesting pebbles
What’s beyond that window in the cliff face
Or hiding in that hole in the sand ?
Nobody knew – so we decided to look
Dad helping lift up pebbles – as
Excitable little people watched
Red coloured crabs moving sideways towards the sand

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

There’s nothing better than a summer sky
warm coloured tones of
corn or wheat growing in the farmers field
or maybe the thought
of sinking your toes into warm golden sands
before dipping them in the sea
breakfast dinner or tea – wonderous eggs
dipped with bread soldiers
for an afternoon feast
#CYW #Desert #Sand
Drifting in over land and sea
enveloping everything it passes
sand from the sahara travels on the wind
easily passing over land and sea
resting on roofs, cars and even plants
the succulents smile – they’ve seen this before
Soil looking more like blackpool than old trafford
as grains land on the turfs and lawns
notable how the gardener greets it though –
drainage is improved by this helpful visitor

It’s that colour you see far off
when you’re sat on the beach
looking at the horizon
and you’re looking at the water far away
Could it be that colour that
entered the sky when the
roundness of the sun
ups and leaves the sky
leaving it darker with only
earths moon in the sky to provide
a light on the ground below ?
new moons shine on this colours curtain
