Word Picture, February 7, 2020

The teal sea rolls in,
Crescendos build and ebb
Where the amber cliff meets the beach.
Occasionally, seagulls squawk in alarm, 
Dogs bark,
A crowd of tourists with
Walking sticks hike by below us.

Jim amd I sit in the sun
at the “Veranda”,
Our favourite coffee shop,
Drinking sweet coffee
And burning our mouths on 
Piping hot nibbles of pastel tarts.

Gradually friends surround us.
Tables are pushed together. 
Seven of us
Drink coffee and chew the fat.
“Arts in the World”,
“Where to go in Italy”,
“Where to stay in Lisbon”,
“Favourite movies and books”.

Today, we enjoy the combination of
Friends, conversation, 
And our warm beautiful environment.
Today, we avoid political ineptitude,
The corona virus and global warming
