Southsea Deckchairs ...

As we sipped Americanos the tide was falling - 

Boats were left stranded in the warm shallows -

Their keels marked the ribbed sand - 

Long legged girls strode through the knee high waves - 

Dogs explored the mysteries of seaweed - 

Pebbles shone like clumsy gems - 

We lolled in the Southsea Deckchairs - 

Our swimming costumes dried quickly in the sun - 

My skin tasted of salt -

We sat amongst the visitors - 

That man's spent an hour reading The Sun Anne said wonderingly - 

It should take five minutes I said -
