A Day on the Beach-- A Poem

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Saturday, 22 Mar 2025, 15:46

We walked slowly along the shore
Wind and sand in our faces
Ours is the vast blue spaces
Of beach, and sea and sky

Sea-gulls wheeled over head
With screeching cry
We tasted the salty sea on our lips
And in our watering eye

Pebbles crunch beneath  our naked feet
And slippery seaweed  fronds
Wet with froth entwine
To tie our bonds
As hearts with love still beat

The giant windmills turned their heads to the sky
Passing quickly, a boat speeding by
Leaving a trail of foam
Time for us  to head for home.
