A Much Needed Day At The Beach

A Short Poem

By simplicityPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

Give me sunny beaches The smell of banana boat being smeared Planes towing advertisements Palm trees swaying Heat radiating up to a blue clear sky Crashing waves with white foam lining Give me no work and a day at the beach Until Everyone has the same idea Parking is as close as inland home Juggling and walking is the admission price Beach fleas bite The gulls steal the pre-made sandwiches The fog rolls in adding a unexpected chill Sand in every crevice  The book along with the bag are swept away with the tide A dog pees in the water that was just my swimming pool Boredom and the inability to be alone set in The sunscreen, now long gone, didn't completely do it's job Leaving the question and hope, "Don't I have work that needs to be done?"
