P.S.

2 days only

down at the seashore
ocean falls through my fingers ;
seaweed clings to rocks

on promenade bench
people dropping their breadcrumbs ;
grateful mistle thrush

walking the seawall
two white butterflies join me ;
leading the journey

blackbird crapping on
freshly cleaned patio wall ;
pour a glass of wine

the robin comes out
from under the big hedgerow ;
checking the weather

hours before the rain ;
part time horticulturists
out in their gardens

droplets of water
hang from the silver birch leaves -
greet fellow amblers

after the rainfall
hedgerow full of melodies;
cars splashing walkers

endless and endless
just downpour upon downpour;
cat sleeps in corner

between the grey clouds
hairline crack of blue appears;
gone in a second

asleep by back door
puppy basks in the sunshine
innocent dreamer

the low slipping tide
revealing pebbles and rocks;
dog chasing it's tail

dawn at the seaside
gusting winds and swelling tides
chin tucked into chest

by the side of road
cyclist repairing puncture
rain comes pelting down
