Watch Tower

Gradations of greens and blues, darks and lights
This is where we get colors like Aqua and Aquamarine 

Foamy white streams of "been there" water trail behind weekender boats 
Ripply dresses and shirt sleeves delightfully dancing in the seaside breeze

Sunbathers, tourists and locals, poolside squinting at light reading
Just below the bar where they indulge in umbrella drinks and snack on seafood delicacies

Children gleefully screaming and splashing in the pool 
Acting surprised and scared as the cool pouring of the waterfall rushes down over their heads
Vacationers looking on, some with delight at their youthful exuberance
Others with disgust at their breaking of the quiet serenity

The heat of the sun presses down from the blue sky and seeps into our skin
All while the palm trees stand tall
Watch towers along the perimeter of this paradise
As if to warn all who approach
Only relaxation and leaisure here 
No baggage allowed!
