‘Beach time,’ she shouted as she grinned happily. ‘It’s so warm, it’s so pleasant.’ She grabs her sunglasses – so funky, a tangerine colour, so bright. She pops her floppy hat which is decorated with little hearts and butterflies – very cool. She started to sing to herself as she went to get sunscreen – she knows she should be wise since she wouldn’t want to burn. ‘It’s going to be blazing by the beach,’ as she jumped into her snazzy car. ‘Broom, broom!’ and off she goes.
she’ll run down the beach
she’ll potter around the sea
she’ll take some shells back

I love how you’ve brought summer in this cold season Chris. Where everywhere there is snow, your poem shows us warm sandy beach. Thanks for joining in.

A lovely haibun. The playful, kinetic prose is full of anticipation, and the final three lines feel like a soft landing at the shoreline.
Much love,
David
