Images of the Seaside

A Poem by Philip Franklin

Images of the Seaside

 

Images of half forgotten seaside times

When life was exploring the next still pool

Flying a kite and making up rhymes

Digging the sand

And playing the fool

 

The smell of cabbage at the cheap hotel

My very first kiss, well a peck, from the girl in room twelve

Her face now just dimly remembered

But her smell that still dwells

 

Running forever along the seas white shore

First tries at swimming, cold to the core

Yes I remember those seaside times

When life was simple and the sun did shine

Excellent reminiscing!!! It sure brought back a few childhood memories for me. It's wonderful to remember the simpler times when all we had to worry about was fun. You did a fantastic job of bring forth a memory. Your lines are well constructed and flow nicely, making me want to continue to the end. Good job!!
