Wispy Clouds in a blue sky, 
On thermals, two ospreys float. 
Perfect day for kites to fly, 
Or to launch a sleek sailboat. 
 
The breeze is brisk on the beach, 
Blown sand reshaping the dunes. 
High above the seagulls screech, 
Pelicans pass in platoons. 
 
Beachcombers bend for a shell, 
Children’s castles on the sand 
Threatened by each tidal swell, 
Lovers strolling hand in hand. 
 
And buried up to his chin, 
Lies a sleeping, snoring man. 
Perhaps, when the tide comes in, 
He’ll struggle free…if he can.
