sunderland

 sunderland 


sets the sun upon a rockpool’s gold

of a winter in longing for summer fools with

buckets and spades and castles with moats

high tide flowing over sand dug boats

full of shrieks and shouts and bailing outs

by kiddies immersed in jolly roger creeks 

and feathers atop of the castle’s keep

with seaweed around all slimy and deep

oh come on my summer friends and friends

run and run into the rising sun and

of this and more we’ll speak and speak

when in old age our knees start to creak

and a smile is the worth of that rising sun

and a cheery tear life’s slow setting sun
