Poem: Distantly glimpsed

27th May 2021 Inspiration: 19th May 2021

Why shouldn’t someone gather seaweed
Naked, in the sun, after they’ve swum?
It’s the best way to get dry, no offence if all alone;
Plus, no salty sandy towel when they get home.

Such a lovely feel all over one’s skin,
Equalling a birth-bare swim;
And, if that were not reason enough –
Seaweed is such useful stuff!
