You should have seen the sea today

Terraced waves stood tall and proud,
balconies upon sturdy stalls

Fall loud on broad-shouldered men -
a good place for them      



Leaner models, thin boards tucked under long arms,
keen-eyed for a free ride

Frilled hem of the sea's skirt
flings itself proprietorially at my feet

Madam! says she, the salty sea:
pick up your toes or I'll pick up thee!

Coffee cream whipped tips flip in the wild wind
sing: You should have seen the sea today

  1. Good to see your sea poem made it to the screen – worth the wait – ‘pick up your toes or I'll pick up thee!’ Yeah!
