#CYW #Bluegreen
Tuesday 6th August 2019
By the time we reached the Island
lagoons – of blue green came into view
under these waters – fish and turtles
enjoying a paddle in the waters
glassy waters lapping up against the shore
resting in crevices of resident rocks
each one giving a home to
eager young hermit crabs…moving there
next to the sea, but away from the tide
Sitting in the garden
Playing with a ball
As Mum or dad
Call out – from beyond the hall
Excitement awaits – we’re off to the museums!
Down goes your head – you don’t want to see ’em
Of course, its not like you’re grateful – you’ve been there before
Up with your classmates – till gone half past four
The holidays are for fun – out in the fresh air!
! You’ll be going somewhere sunny soon – but you don’t care! !

three sets of feet – Walking on the Sand
Rendezvous with candy floss
Sweet stuff acquired – but only two pairs of feet
Smaller pair of toes, treated by Big Feet
To a Piggyback
#Holiday #Memories
An Impromptu decision
walking across the sands
on the way to dinner
Part of the sands
deep, fast running
and trapped tween the grooves
Another , lapped by the sea
deserted, but for footprints
left by the shoes
Trailing, then disappearing
the route almost visible
on the way to a fish salad
#freedomofexpression #iscriblr #countdown #creativity #beach
Soon it will be summer,
Under the shade we will be
Making sandcastles on the shore
Moments away from the sea
Expect a visit from a fish or two
Reacting as you dip your toes in the waters

She found the bird hobbling along the beach
and looked after it like her own
but like every child
it grew restless – to spread its wings
and go its own way
so they took a trip back to the shore
where the bird could take flight once more
and while the bird felt the joy of release
the girl felt an aura of peace

#FOWC
It’s the ability
to remember
names and faces and dates
times and events
from a long time away
so memories aren’t lost
of moments from a time
where the best time you had
was splashing your feet in the sea
#memories
Many a happy time
Enjoyed on the shoreline
Munching away at the contents
Of a well prepared picnic basket
Roast chicken sandwiches and strawberry tarts
Iced buns and banana pudding….
Eaten on a camp blanket, by a rocky shelter
Somewhere where the sardines are safe from the local seagulls

Another poem by inky
Salford (via Llandudno) , 11th January 2018
I like the pebble beach at Llandudno.
each of those stones, has their own tale to tell
time taken over millions of years to form,
then broken up and shaped over another stretch of time
to create the many shapes that come together as a flat bed by the Irish Sea
great for skimming on the surface – if you can find just the right round ones
some of the cast are smooth to the touch and shiny as a button
but a word of caution – wear your shoes – some of these are sharp!

#Penguin
Paying a visit to his relatives upshore
eager young penguin travelled round the coast
navigating the north wales coast and Irish Sea, he
got to the sands of Blackpool, where
under cover , while holiday makers and zoo keepers slept
into the frosty enclosure he got – a
new face for his smaller cousins to see
