Crimson’s Creative Challenge #37
Pretty lady on the beach
Pretty lady out of reach
Hidden beneath the brolly, shaded
Hidden, with her fake tan faded

love the last line 🙂

I thank you. It’s not the one I first thought of. It came to me while on the bus to Norwich to visit my father.

The irony of the last line is great. On a beach, but with a fake tan? Lol

I did huff on my nails and polished them up; such cleverness; such modesty; such a huge tongue in cheek 🙂

Each one of your poem strikes a cord of rhythm and mystery. I am wondering… is the pretty lady hiding something?

Not the pretty lady, but crimsonprose … I get Microsoft George to read out the poem before I post it. He might have to read several times while I tweak for rhythm. Being an electronic voice there is no inflexion. It’s an excellent way of finding how it reads. Don’t use Windows? There are loads of other Read Aloud apps.

I thank you, Dale. A comment on the need to protect against the sun while also appearing fashionably tanned. 🙂

It was a little bit of irony. Time was we lay on the beach to catch a tan. But now we go to a shop and buy a tane, while on the beach we hide from the sun
