Blustery winds howl 

Surf crashes on the beach

Sand blows everywhere

No sunbathing today

A lonely beach umbrella

Stands upright with fabric flapping

Braving the elements

A symbol of defiance

Snowbirds stay indoors

Telling stories of gruesome northern winters

Pretending to enjoy a Florida winter storm

Oh look at the pretty white surf

Red tides bring toxic winds

People coughing and wheezing

No escaping from discomfort

Paying top rental prices to be poisoned

Crazy folks go bike riding

Enjoying a freewheeling tailwind

Before turning around

Pedaling hard to stand still

A brave soul walks the beach

Microdermabrasion masochist 

Salt spray and sand obscure windows

Nobody laying poolside today

Let’s spend the day doing chores

Laundry and buying groceries 

The raging sea boils faster

Daytime TV is so lame

Condos become prison blocks

Snowbirding inmates doze inside

Waiting for a sunshine parole

No early release for good snowbird behavior
