Knokke station; end-of-line
Down Lippenslaan
- the height of class
Those fashion
shops absorb much time;
We sip our
coffee, minutes pass…
The huge chameleon*– a surprise!
Children slide
down bright-red tongue;
The sea awaits
beyond the rise
Beware kids
cycling in warm sun!
Smart
villas – not for rank and file;
High rise
apartments with sea view
Unending wall
- post-modern style
Tall cranes
now modernize a few.
The Surf
Club has a jaunty air
Seagulls
swoop just out of reach
Sun lizard
spotted on deck chair
Dotted cabins
on the beach…
Limp
windsock – a light breeze today
Though
restaurants have panelled glass
To keep the
rain and wind at bay;
A daily challenge
and big ask!
Along the digue
we take a walk
Our minds in
neutral, so we dream
Then put the
world to rights and talk
While
indulging in ice cream!
