A girl washed up on the beach

chaz2296

 

The long seagull infested bay
Sprawled into life before my eyes
And as the breaking waves rolled along the sea edge
I observed the locals and their look of surprise
A tanned narcissistic looking officer greeted me
He seemed to float on the golden sands
"We found her here this morning officer" he uttered
"She was naked with just a scarf wrapped round her hands"
I saw the poor bleach blonde creature
All covered over by a pristine white sheet
A drown maiden washed in by the ocean
Her modesty now restored from head to feet
The investigations were long and gruelling
But the view and hospitality never diminished
I never felt anything negative here
From the beginning to when I finished
The killer was a lonely Moroccan tourist
Who misjudged friendship for something more
Such a waste of a beautiful life
Left naked on a postcard shore

    THANKS CHAZ - For sharing an excellent poem. Elegant in it structure - replete with Rhyme and Rhythm but so so tragic in its content. Tragedy is it happens somewhere every day. Our Ladies are so so vulnerable it sometimes makes me ashamed of being a Man. Such a waste of a beautiful life ~ Left naked on a postcard shore - RIP - Thanks BRIAN
