Writer's Island prompt ~ Unexpected
~
Shopping in Rosebud
Is no ordinary shopping experience
~
Imagine a village-like atmosphere
In a town-like setting
~
Imagine this place
Is on the shores of a bay
Where an amble on the beach
A pier
Or coastal track
Is as close as crossing the road
From the buzz of the shops
~
Imagine
All the while
Larger than life
Jaunty characters
Observe you
With fixed
Nonchalant
But colourful
Indifference
~
But just may draw
An unexpected smile
From you
~
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
