Walk The Beach

Walk The Beach



Warm golden sands that are washed by the tide
Donkeys with hats you can take for a ride
Castles of sand with shells round the side,
Would make your day

Marks in the sand as the crabs scurry by
On bright coloured towels, bodies will lie
White cotton clouds drift in the sky,
These make your day

Just close your eyes pretend that you’re there
Soft summer breeze, wind in your hair
Toes in the water, life with no care,
Can make your day

White crested waves, seagulls on high
Kites of all sizes see how they fly
Remember all this as the time goes by,
It’s just a day

Sun on your back has gladdened your heart
Off home to bed now, it's time to depart
Head on the pillow, dreams soon to start,
This was your day.

    Perfect meter adds lyricism to razor sharp rhyming a lovely light theme pushed on through the main and final lines. Great stuff.

    Bravo!

    The picture is so pretty and your poem more than does it justice. This poem simply sings happiness. I smiled at the end because this is my home. I live in South Florida and this is the life I am blessed with every day. Love this poem!

    Love,
    Amera

    Very cute! I love the form of these...not to mention that being in Florida I see all of this daily right now...it reminds me just how easy it really is to take for granted just how amazing all the simple things in life are. I think I'm gonna hop on the bike and go to the beach this weekend!
    Great write, my friend!!
