4 of 6 in the Jemverse ‘Shoreham’ series

The shingle covered beaches
mightn’t be your cup of tea
But they’re all a part of Sussex

Walking slowly on the shingle
the crunching ‘neath my feet
as pebbles slip and slide
and tideline flotsam
with my roving eyeline meet

Took myself for a walk on the beach
for an hour at lunchtime today
There were seagulls out there sunbathing

I have a bolthole on the beach
and you’ll often find me there
Gazing at the open sea

blue sky and deep blue sea
The gently turning silent waves
creep up to welcome me

Tide upon the turn
People having cups of tea

On the shingle, fossil hunters
Carefully turn each stone
Searching for a special thing

Yellow poppy, Lancing beach
Shingle fauna growing wild
Glorious in the bright sunshine
Spreading out and undefiled
