The march of man.

The march of man.

His high school days

filled with hours;

thinking of girls.

he wondered ....

why we all, can't be just

naked and free.

on his first visit

the nudist beach,

it became apparent

why this would not work.

the onset of his intentions

becoming uncontrollably, visibly known

he quickly retreated to the sea,

waiting.....

in several hours

it would be dark soon.

A good piece
It gives a clear cut memory about the past days

Thank you Sayed

Oh my, this deserves some laughter in a good way. A carefree, young and lovely piece on teenage memories. I abstain myself from clearly envisioning your last seven lines. ^^ I adore the innocence you included, a truly likable piece.

[andrew mitchell]

haha yes! those awkward teenage years, the innocence, growing up, the willingness accompanied by the overwhelming shyness. Thank you vanessa for your lovely words.

Haha, you nailed it. ;) You're welcome.

[Pryde Foltz]

nature and culture evolves in concert ... do hope that water wasn't too cold:)

[andrew mitchell]

lol thanks Pryde, when south australia got their first nudist beach, it was the in-thing to check it out but being a late teen at the time, the female form nude was too much for me. lol.

An underlying message here I feel...as with a lot of your writing...life seems a big comparison at times...we are all so vulnerable in the grand scheme of things...interesting Andrew...

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks poppy, when south australia got their first nudist beach, I checked it out. I spent most of my time in water or on my stomach. The sight of the female form was too exciting and beautiful for me. lol :)

[andrew mitchell]

As a teen I must add!

[Ruth]

lol I see...must have been quite the experience :)

[andrew mitchell]

It was!! They, the women just didn't know it, then again I think they knew!! lol

A great humorous poem. Loved it.
"with the onset of his intentions
becoming uncontrollably, visibly known

Haha.. this part though :D

Keep writing. Making people laugh or even smile is a great thing you can do. :)

A true story as a teen seeing female nudity at its grandeur at our first recognised nudist beach. Too much for me! lol
