BACON ON THE BEACH

SIZZILING ON THE BEACH,

THE BACON

STANDS UP.

WEARING A BEANIE THAT

COVERS DREADS.

AMONGST OTHERS HE STANDS OUT,

LIKE A BOY WEARING A NEON GREEN SHIRT.

HIS BLACK SHADES

KEEP TEH SUN FROM BLINDING HIM.

THE PALM TREE SHADE

KEEPS HIM FROM BURNING.

THE BEACH IS THE ONLLY PLACE

FOR THIS STRIP OF BACON.

Discovering New Strength

Two years after
her husband's
sudden and tragic
DEATH,
in an automobile accident.

Cindy's life is filled with
the comfort of her
faith,
family,
friends
and a thriving career
as a boutique owner.

The woman's
clothing shop that
she
and her daughter
run together
is named after
Steve's jersey number
Fifty Seven Boutique.

Feeling of a First

Gabcast! Poetry #1

Ending

The love we thought would never stop
now cools like a congealing chop.
The kisses that were hot as curry
are bird-pecks taken in a hurry.
The hands that held electric charges
now lie inert as four moored barges.
The feet than ran to meet a date
are running slow and running late.
The eyes that shone and seldom shut
are victims of a power cut.
The parts that then transmitted joy
are now reserved and cold and coy.
Romance, expected once to stay,
has left a note saying GONE AWAY.

Gavin Ewart 1916-1995
