We’d met at Ostend station under doubtful sun
Where it
had seemed a fun idea to take a coastal run;
Harsh
seemed the chattering aboard to non-West Flanders ear
My friend
found it awkward – and she comes from here!
The
Kusttram was quite crowded, hordes of trippers forced to stand;
This
multi-stop to Nieuwpoort held views of windswept sand;
The dunes,
like mini pyramids, showed signs of some decay
Detritus
dropped on pavements - whipped up and blown away!
The tram
meanders down the coast from Knokke to De Panne
In terms of
views, it’s a delight, so catch it if you can!
With
thirteen towns to visit, there’s plenty to explore
So why not
munch a waffle as you walk across the shore?
People stroll
along the digue (or dyke if you prefer)
The wind is
always bracing; it messes up permed hair!
This weekday
in late August meant a cloudburst and sunshine;
We dined in
style behind thick glass; with memories to rhyme!
