Blue Flag
Coke bottle
Sanitary pad
Dirty nappy
Dog poo bag
Crisp packets
Cardboard takeaway box
Discarded combs and hairbrush
Unwanted pair of socks
Waves of Styrofoam cups
Carrier bags here for life
Sandwich packaging wrappers
Plastic forks, spoons and knives
Fishing lures and fishing line
Wrapped around coloured plastic bags
Washed up on a soiled golden beach
Proudly displaying billowing Blue Flags
And so the daily clean-up begins
As dusk and twilight descends
But the next high tide is awash
With the litter that never ends.
