One Shoot Sunday, "Frolicking on the Beach"

Photo Courtesy of Iquanyin Moon

The fire flickered,

casting warm shadows

 across the cool sand

as the full moon winked

and nodded approval.

Bare feet and 

pearlescent bodies

splashed and skipped

amongst the incoming tide

while marshmellow kisses,

giggling games of hide and seek,

and warm foamy beer 

were enjoyed by

Mom and Dad

during their romantic

weekend get-away.

My 16 year old daughter laughed and said what I wrote was disturbing.  I guess her parents are "over-the-hill" at the old age of 45ish (teenagers are so endearing!)  Alas, it is fiction.  The above is a Fiction 55 for "One Stop Poetry's One Shoot Sunday" (a story in 55 words or less). The photographer is Iquanyin Moon of Hawaii.  Please click on One Shoot Sunday if you would like to read other creative writing or poetry submissions for the above photo prompt. 


This is also my submission for Friday Flash 55.  Tell a story in 55 words or less.  Click HERE to be transported to G-Man's (aka "Mr. Know It All") Blog to read more short stories.  I apologize to those who have already read it... but we are busy this weekend with the musical - "Nunsense-Amen".  My husband is Sister Robert Ann.  Needless to say, I have to work on getting this image out of my brain before any frolicking on the beach is possible...
