Beach Sinners


Sandy beaches
bring you back

Like the day
we took water

To rinse off salt
of ocean dipping

Pouring it slowly
over our heads

Several persons
stopped to watch

Before leaving
a woman asked

If wetting heads
is a religious rite

You said no but
salt is itchy evil


F William Broome 2008

Hey Bill, you could have made some sort of a sign of the cross or something like that, but then you probably would have had a line of converts, all getting de-itched. Great little write.

Cheers,
Dan

I would have loved to have seen that woman's face after she received that response!

Love this, Bill. A divine poem. It occurred to me, however, that
for me a day with the ocean is rather a theosophical experience.

Love the simplicity of this one Bill and can almost see the tongue in cheek grins but the delicious sense of sharing a special moment.
