| Sandown Isle of Wight August 2014 |
~~~Seaside
Dip ~o~ English Summer~~~
Standing staring freezing
Thigh high choking
Bravely stepping wading
Waist water closing
Crooked elbows bracing
Finger tips testing
Eying swells encroaching
Bouncing joking grimacing
Chuckling ducking bobbing
Still standing looking…..
August-flipping cold!
That final dunking
Put off ever-lasting
Over trunks and trunking
Now fast chilling
Down forward dropping
Tipping falling toppling
No way backing
Shocking submerging
Flat under smirking
Head-up holding
~o~
Ahhrghh! I'm in!!
Waaaaayyyyy!!!
Log floating
Slight un-stiffening
Possibly relaxing
Gliding swaying
Swaythe waving
Not so chilling
Broad grin dashing
~o~
Turning noticing
Ooops…. disappearing!
~~~Distant specs (do not) ashore~~~
Bottom touching?
Nope, far out manning
Below water lining
Delicious dawning
Fear arising
No returning
Sensing daring
Flirting skirting
Somewhat hurting
Life endangering
Beyond the pale
Ah well returning
Back a-lying
Feet churning
Sky burning
Arms turning
Shore’s rim reaching
Seaweed clinging
Sand stone lapping
Semi-surfing
Cool arriving
~~~Laying~~~staying~~~resting~~~peace~~~
(Back on the Beach)
Sh-sh-shivering
Towels wrapping
Drinking coughing
Teeth chattering
Chips fattening
Salty sanding
Hypo-therming
Lolling laughing
Happy happening
Family sharing
~~~Seeing~~~enjoying~~~belonging~~~being~~~
~~~Living~~~
