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
#Acrostic #Water
Rising up from the surface
In a kind of domino fashion
Pattern of concentric circles appear
Perpetrated by a pebble
Landing on, and falling through the water
Expanding outwards till they meet another circle when
Small Splashes occur on the surface
#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

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

What’s with the guitar Inky ?
I thought i’d start with the musical link – an electric guitar. Clapton, May, Deacon come to mind. It’s loud but in time is methodical, and lyrical – its also the nearest thing to an electrical instrument that doesn’t need a programmer….it does need an amplifier though
Much like the Rocks you find on your average beach….(eh?)
Add a chirp or two following the sound of the rocks and the sea – you have a three piece band 🙂
Reminiscent of something i read in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Novel Soul Music
Music with Rocks in – Quite a ring to it too.
And all of this is Acoustic….no electric required.
“Depth”
Deep down on the sea bed
Eager crustaceans
Play cat and mouse with
The fishermen up above them, and
Hoping they avoid the fishermans traps as they
Scurry along the sandy sea bed
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!
Rhodes, 18th October 2018
Watched with intent
As Mediterranean blue
Mixed with Aegean aqua
Travelling over waves
As crabs met tentacles
Admiring the land lubbers
Shellfish communicate with conch
The shows about to start
As hermit crabs scuttle towards the bigger fish
In an instant they appear
Waving a fin or a tentacle
In the greenest of blues
Catch of the day
Passes along the hull
To say hello and goodbye
#octpowrimo #acrostic #seasheep #underwater
Something on the seabed
enjoys the fare the simple algae provide
as the sea grass grows under their feet
something like what you’d see on the moors enjoys a feast
hopping around the sea bed and
eating his greens…much like a similar beast
existing above the water
perhaps that’s why he’s got a similar name
