Summer Holiday

Nature and us...

Summer Holiday

 

Swarms of people covering the sand,

They descend on the beach

With their bright towels, large umbrellas,

And masses of children

To build large sandcastles

And read their fashion magazines in

Slanted chairs covered in oil and sweat

While mothers hover over toddlers

With babies inside their arms,

Other people splash in the rising surf

Countless others are honking their horns

While they clog the road near the entrance

My keen senses worry about the

Natural habitat

What will this effect?

The shorebirds or the starfish, maybe,

Both in some way. �"J. E. Cook ©2017
