A Poem by Lydia Shutter
"

a lazy few hours at the beach and a poem is born

"


artwork by vera cauwenbergh




the human parade

plays hide and seek with the tide

but I barely notice it

my strong coffee sweetened by inspiration

i conduct a symphony of waves

like a seasoned maestro

then, dreaming i am the queen

of the two story sand castle

just built by a ginger headed scamp

i write another poem

            because, after all

that’s what Sunday afternoons are for

                          right?

Yes, Lydia's absolutely right. Sunday afternoons always bring something better than Monday dunes - a little less foggy than Saturday evenings - a little more dynamic than Friday nights. You ain't write a poetry, but built a castle words... where remembrance of past & the aromas of wet sands both're saved behind the imagery. Nice flow of ink. Well written!

Poets can't help themselves; every day is a good day to write, right?
Thoroughly enjoyed sharing your sweet sand castle dreams, Lydi--both stories.

Thanks so much, Frankie....a day without poetry should be against the law! :) Lydi**
Hmnnn...writing time is also fantasy time for me. We hold the pen, why not write beautiful stories about us? lol
I can relate to this, Lydi. But my writing time will not be as limited as before because 2 days more and end of classes, our summer vacation already.

Great piece!

heh heh - lol - you're welcome my friend. :))
yes, i do believe that is what Sunday afternoons are for, dreaming of those sandcastles...we can worry about reality when the tides go out, and Monday morning comes.

Just like Scarlett O'Hara worried it about it tomorrow! :) Thanks, Jacob. Lydi**
indeed they are for a "true" poet :)
I'm amazed at your ability to summon a picture in the reader's mind with a few strokes of the brush.
hey there's even coffee in this one!
