Snowdon's flat back propped against <br />God's mantlepiece of sky <br />summed up the holiday experience. <br /> <br />Away from the post card facade <br />it was all something of a <br />cultural sham. <br /> <br />Behind the gaudy colours seldom seen elsewhere, <br />beyond the beach balls, the buckets and spades, <br />the inflatable sea creatures <br /> <br />Mums and Dads still argued over whatever, <br />children felt uneasy or unhappy, <br />and dogs got lost while the Welsh rain fell.<br /><br />Neil Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/home-from-home-2/
