Isle of Wight Holiday Poetry 1. Chine Sunshine

We walked across
the Chine in
sunshine.
Simon Ledger
singing Nat
King Cole to
a group of Island
pensioners.
Should it be
Kung Fu Fighting
His Karl Douglas
impression landed
him on the
front page of "The
Sun".
Yes, it did go
wong.
Dancing down
the Chine
to "Unforgettable"
40s chimes and
music.
You might even
lose it to
the psychedelic
coloured lights
LSD for purists.
Chine sunshine
silver lining
Crabb Inn
Hollier's Hotel.
Watching
regional Icarus
solar activity
In my Simon's
dad's video
playing as
we came in the
visitors room
Chine sunshine,
deja-vous.
Isle of Wight,
skies blue.
Melting on the
sublime River
Chine in Shanklin.
