The Summer Sea

When nights are short and days are long
And summer sings her siren song,
It's then I want to go away
To where the breakers send their spray
In misty clouds, that leave their trace
Of moisture, on the cliff's dark face.
When nights are warm and days are hot,
I think about the beach a lot!
About the tides that race and turn
And how the surf can boil and churn.
Of how the sea birds drift and fly
Across a blue and flawless sky.
About the shore, where we can walk
To watch the seagulls as they stalk,
In search of tasty morsels they
Can squabble over, every day.
It is a place I long to be.
A sojourn by the summer sea!

This is a pleasure to read.
I have only been to the Pacific Ocean beaches a very few times, yet your poem stirs memories and imagination.

Dear Joyce: Thanks for commenting. Ron is having some problems. I have been having trouble getting one of his medications and a substitute was suggested, which caused him to have a grand mal seizure. It has been an anxious week for us. Backon the original meds. but having trouble finding them. I have several people working on it for me though, so hope things get better.

love
Betty Lou
