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
