575s and 57577s (2)
The sun, sea and sand
Somnolent basking bodies
risking well being.
Proximity of events
whistles shouts and cries
a place of pleasure
a hive of activity
invading my solitude.
Once entertaining
novel and wondrous joys
now thought archaic.

Archaic is good! đđģđī¸
Can't beat a bit of the ancient
No sir, not one bit!
Sounds to me you were the only one on a beach and then you were surrounded. đ¤Ŗ Ah that peace would certainly be broken with beach balls and tennis and screams of joy for the ones who love all that. LoL âąī¸ brilliant dear Michael, great to see you. đšI hope you took your socks off and those beach sandals đ¤Ŗ
If only - still wearing bloody awful compression socks following surgery.....đ
Biggest of hugs then. đ¤
Three good ones Michael.

Good write and pic M.
Cheers O
Wonderous words! They strike true and ring with the wisdom of age. This may be taken many ways but to me is speaks of age's changes. A wonderful poem that touches me and is a fave
You sum it up well = with the dangers of exposure in a warming world are beach holidays now becoming a thing of the past, do the younger pleasure seeking generations ignore the warnings and still invade our beaches?
Nothing wrong with some good, ol' fashioned, archaic fun! Jousting anyone? đ¤Ŗ A wonderful poem, my friend. I was waiting the second of these and it has delivered. Well done, Michael! đšđ
Hope you are rapidly healing so you can keep us delighted a long long time! Yes, us old fogeys like things like books and stillness and bumblebees visiting the roses. And thoughtful little poems.
everything has a time and place - what we love in childhood may be what we least like as a grown up - the means of entertainment definitely changes as one grows up
