Playground
~~~
she licks her icecream cone
drip, drip, it runs down her hand
to her wrist
he watches from some way off
lick, lick, tilting her arm
so her tongue can reach
the running dribble of sweetness
the icecream drops down
towards the ground
then he swoops, hand at the ready
catches his prize
and scoops the ball
into his wide open mouth

A Yellow Umbrella
a yellow umbrella
bright as a second sun
stands on the sands
giving shade to everyone
a spring day in may
the sea as smooth as glass
we walked hand in hand
‘long the dunes of velvet grass
a yellow umbrella
and a red beach ball
come and join the fun
beach soccer one and all
oh for those carefree days
of innocence and youth
oh for those carefree days
of energy and health
