Occasional Poetry - 11. Christmas Vacation

em>Observations in Palm-Tree Land. So I make mistakes. They are mine.

Reflection on Christmas Vacation

 

Beautiful creatures under tropic skies,

Hot sandy beaches, and hotter guys

Soft breezes breathing warmth into my bones

Wafting exotic birds overhead.

Skimming the currents, they make their way home,

Fishing the water for daily bread.

 

They take no notice of skin pale or tanned

Parading margins where surf meets sand.

Exotic themselves, bright colors and noise,

Roosting on blankets, food within range,

Or swimming and screaming; girls chasing boys.

And neither to the other is strange.

em>So what did you do with your Christmas Vacation?

It's good to be 'the observer.' It's one of my greatest joys in life. That's the celebration I get from this poem. Thanks for posting it!

A lovely warm day, thousands of tourists on the beach, strolling on the sand, and birds everywhere. Memorable afternoon. Glad it came through.

There were thousands on the beach celebrating Christmas, New Years, life, marriages (several couples in obvious white), and zillions of shorebirds...a really lovely day, and one that deserves to be remembered.
