WWP 168: 'Shored Up'


‘Shored Up’
storm brewing salt air
tossing a stray hair
here and there
we stroll, heels click
hearing conversations
in unfamiliar tongues
mother’s chasing children
father’s loaded like pack mules
kites, parasailers, balls tossed -
***
but the thing that tickles my fancy
is the young dandy not paying
any mind, head bent in
complaint, showing
no restraint as he
babbes on his
cell phone...
letting
me wonder and
sigh at how he uses a
prescription for a drug that is
is supposed to aid elders and then
whines like a two year old proclaiming
that it doesn’t work for him...      anymore

    Hiya,
    Like the scene you set in your reverse nonet [?]especially the babbling chappie complaining. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

    hmm, nonet...I wasn't intending one. But if it works...
    Home now. But I guess that scene wanted a voice :)

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.

I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.

Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
