In The Summer (Sicilian Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

In the summer sun glowing is your skin,
while on the white beach in comes the noontide,
behind sunglasses other females hide,
and you are glad as our holiday begin,

do with a lovely smile my heart win,
your locks are under a hat that is wide,
we do by the lifeguard's red flags abide
as the blue sea rushes out and pulls in.

"Shark! Look out! " A scream does our nerves test.
In fear we do quickly the water leave,
see no sign of it, to avoid it seems best,
I wonder, did somebody us deceive?
Everyone on the beach is in distress.
Later the sun sets in a lovely eve.
