Tuesday Poem - Sunny Days

The sun beats down in a relentless haze
Azure blue skies dotted with wisps of cloud
Sunglasses, sunhats, suncream and sandals
A cool breeze dances in from the sea
and flutters around open toes,
teasing skirts.

Drippy ice creams melting too fast 
And chocolate liquified in its wrapper
You're craving salt and slurping slushies
Eating fish and chips in paper on the promenade
finishing up with sugary fingers
from hot doughnuts.

When the gentle sizzle gets too much
And you must retreat to the shade
Drink water, reapply your sunscreen
Enjoy the vitamin D soaking into your skin
because British summertime
could be raining tomorrow!
