What's My Favourite Place?

TROPICAL SUNSET ©

By Christine Thiel

 

The tropical sunset brings romantic notions

As I gaze across the rolling ocean

But the scene is incomplete

As I wriggle my toes in the sand beneath my feet.

 

The majestic palms sway in the breeze

The pollens make me sneeze

The aroma of frangipani wafting through the air

As happy couples stroll here and there.

 

Aquamarine tinted surf breaks on the white beach

My dreams seem out of reach

But the tranquil scene before me

Calms my life, previously stormy.

 

Camels amble along the sand in the sunset

The accompanying odour is hard to forget

Its said the ride is rhythmic and relaxing

But its hard to imagine how it could be distracting.

 

Naked bodies of obscure shapes and sizes

Are oblivious to the impact on the observers.

The wrinkles, dimples and cellulite abound

But they seem to enjoy the freedom theyve found.

 

There are dozens of dogs of various breeds

Enjoying the company of owners, other dogs and the sea

Just like the camels their deposits they make

One must be aware every step I take.

 

Thats life on Cable Beach in the north west.

Yachts, tinnies and jet skis can also attest,

Enjoying the life of ease is the way to go

When work allows the time to pass slow.

Sorry folks, I tried to delete it because I put it on the "Best Places", but alas, you get it in 2 places.

Yes, Vic.
Writing is just one of my many, varied talents. Cooking breakfast for hungry ringers is another one.
I currently have a childrens' book being considered for publication, and I've submitted an agent's query for another non-fiction book I've completed since being parked up in Cairns.
When I went to the Kimberleys in 1996 I shut the filing cabinet of my Freelance Journalism, Public Relations and Media Consultance. But I never stopped writing.
I got a million of 'em! Cheers Chris
