The children gambol
happily frolicking in the sun
kicking the sandy beach
on blankets, as adults yell
Seagulls squawking their say
Hoping people will leave
So they can get to the garbage
Some carelessly leave behind
One couple entwined
Unaware of the mundane
Lost in the lap of love
Unashamed of their erotica
A few lads making sand castles
Snickering as they watch
Getting a boost in their education
Among other things
The lazy waves at midday
Curling closer and closer
As the tide prepares
To get higher
Sun at its peak
Burning some who seek
To look like bronzed beauties
On magazine covers
All breathing in the balmy air
Covered by a sky of blue
On a picture perfect day
At the seashore
While the sand critters
Go their way undaunted
And the sea creatures
Bemoan the invasion of their home
etw-2006
Beauatiful descriptive ode to the sea; very well done! BRAVA!

The poem and the picture make me wish I was at sun-drenched beach this very moment. Wonderful rendering, Eileen. ~~Nordette
Eileen, you painted this perfectly. Only now I'm eager for summer all over again! But it felt good to remember the warmth of the season, and the fun by the water.

Eileen, these lines say a lap full of proverb about time limit. "If you don't do something about this by 3:30 tomorrow afternoon."
Life is full of situations. We have to handle it in our own timeframe. When the opportunity presents itself, you have to pry open the oyster to get the pearl. Otherwise we are stuck in the ordinariness of everyday life. There are alot of Whys in our life. To the inquisitive, we have to know Why "the lazy waves at midday"
You've captured a timeless and serene picture with these words. Your perception of this plane of life soars.
