The Beach

You can hear
The waves flowing on shore
The bird's chirping fading away

You can see
The clouds bursting with color
The sun is slowly setting

You can smell
The spices of the beach
The mist of the rain

You can tell
That the day has ended
And the tide is gone
Everything is peaceful

    Very simple, but yes this is a nice description of the picture. I think there should be more colorful imagery though... like talk about the waves and the sounds you know? Overall though great entry.

    Smelling the spices of the beach is a good line. I liked that one. A good poem. -Wil
