I can smell. The scent of seaweed baking in the summer sun Fragrance of too late sunscreen applied to already sunburnt skin Feel of scalding sand between my toes as I ran towards the shore line And the feel of freckles bursting open upon my face as they blossomed like summer petals #vss365 #poet

Reminds me of summer days as a kid. Spending all my time by the water…fishing and wading or swimming in the water.

Same for me I could have written many more verses for this but am restricted by character limits. Mebe I should write short stories not sure if anyone would read them but I’m happy to know it resonated with you which is why I write pieces So thank you 😊

Let’s hope it comes with a peg for your nose ! Stinky seaweed can knock person over with its pungent scent ! Good luck with your show I hope it’s a huge success 😊

He he, it's not too bad! It does have a faint aroma of the sea if you sniff it, otherwise, you don't notice ;-) Thanks!
