Description
The North Sea on a beautiful sunny day in May, the Tide is lapping up to the shore at Scarborough beach on the North Bay and a man is walking his dog a lively springer spaniel and the excited dog is chasing the tide pulling on his lead and yelping with excitement, dogs are fearless when running into the water and without a long leash like this he would go missing or drown he has a responsible owner who knows the danger of this vast sea that stretches over to Scandinavia. This is a lovely scene of a man walking his dog on the beach and my favourite breed of dog as I had a springer spaniel who looked just like this one and he too used to chase the tide....happy memories.
Wrote this poem below today 19 Feb 2023 Thankyou Art District group for your inspiration to write this on your prompt for motion art to add a poem today:
A little dog chasing the tide, what can the man do but go in his stride, to the edge of the sea as it laps at his feet. A beautiful day at Scarborough's North bay...as I walked on the promenade on this warm sunny day. The dog moved my heart as he looks just like mine, who has departed from me for quite a while.
He would do just the same when he saw the sea...run up to it yapping with glee...Its a good job he has him tight on his lead, as these dogs will dive out into the open sea, yapping and splashing unaware of the heartache and despair without a care. When they are no longer found, yes its happened out there. I too had a leash like he, when my little dog started chasing the sea...happy and safe as can be, as I took him on many a walk as I lived by the sea.
Yes I had a springer just like this one, so a photo I took of this moment in time, from the promenade above...as I strolled along on this beautiful day, whilst watching owner and little dog at play. Remembering how it was with me smiling and almost bursting with tears as I watched the little springer chasing the tide of the mighty North Sea. Joan-Violet Stretch
