Are they ready...?

41st street & the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ...


Poem Artwork

The beaches are clean,

Ready for the summer scene,

The boardwalk is fixed,

Memories of Sandy are nixed…

 

All are of the summer anticipating,

Store owners all are participating,

The summer has almost returned,

Let’s us hope the NJ shore line has a lesson learned…

 

Still so many further north without a home,

From motel to motel, then trailer park do they roam,

The great governor did his little, for the cameras, dance,

Insurance against a hurricane is all but a game of chance...

Nature is something that takes its course...
but now that we are into spring nearing summer
lets enjoy what comes our way and hope for the best
for those who did not fare as well over that storm..

Love and light
Lily

Wise observations. I think that most people will gradually have to move away from the shore. However, we can still go there every summer and enjoy for a few hours, maybe campout and stay longer. But building structures appears to be a losing battle against the relentless sea.
