The sky is blue and the sea turquoise.
Brazenly baring their beautiful bodies
bronzed bathers stroll on golden sand
with stylish gait and a great deal of poise.

The vision of young ladies au naturel
can be described as a sight for sore eyes.
Some assume, but I think they’re wrong,
that any of them is a potential Jezebel.

To view this practice as deviant is a hoot,
only narrow minded people see it as such.
I can’t envisage anything more natural
than wearing what we call a birthday suit.

Neither can I but say that to a teenager! Nice piece;)

Hello Highhat. I can see that some teenagers might be too self-conscious of appearing in the nude but I am sure that young males would not be averse to admiring the fine figures of nymphs in the buff. Thanks for the comment.

they call it "european style" in the states, and they think it's very risque. so odd!

Hi insert. I always associated naturism with Europeans, Scandinavian in particular. It didn't occur to me to find out whether that practice goes on in the States. Perhaps prudery prevail over there.

It's OK in the US luigi so long as it's restricted to nudist colonies and places of entertainment. ;)

Much obliged for the info, chuck. I remember of once walking on a beach in Cephalonia and coming across a couple sunbathing in the nude but there was no indication that it was an area reserved for nudists.

Thanks Julie. I wouldn't like to be a nudist in this country. Far too cold. Luigi x

I tell you a secret, Tina. It was the title of your poem 'Cote d'Azur' that inspired me to write this one. Yes, I seem to be on a roll. May it continue. I'll be on holiday in the next fortnight (Venice here I come) so normal service will be resumed in September. Luigi xxx

You know luigi, this kind of reminded me, of when I went to Lanzarote back in the 80s. Going down to the beach, every woman was topless, so I felt more embarrassed and out of place with a bikini top on than with none at all, so I decided there and then I would go topless as well, it was the first time I had ever experienced anything like that, I felt a great sense of freedom. This poem kind of spoke how I thought, great read. Jenny.

Dear Jenny, there is always a first time for everything and until we take the first step we don't know whether we are missing out on something. I was told a story which I was assured is true: an ice-cream seller on the beach of St.Tropez was wearing shorts that he lowered to his ankles whenever he reached the nudist part. True or not, I can imagine the scene. Luigi x
