The Beach Sellers
Two weeks each year
in the sun.
Three beach cover-ups
in the "Spanish drawer".
A new look arrives.
Soft jersey,
brightly coloured,
it swathes the body.
I'm tempted.
Cuanto es?
They
walk so far
in the mid-day sun.
Straw hats
and sturdy sandals.
Heavy bags on their shoulders.
Always smiling.
"Very pretty"
"Very good price"
This is another in the series that I made while on the beach in Spain. So many characters that I've noticed over the years.
I'm linking up to dVerse open link night 51 again.
Thanks for the opportunity dVerse!

ReplyDeleteI like this very 'beachy' and very 'spanish' poem Geraldine. Hope you soaked up plenty of sun to see you through the damp Cumbrian weather.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely drawn images. I can see them and hear their voices. http://hoofprintsinmygarden.wordpress.com
