Living in the city
is having no fresh air to breathe.
Take me back
to the jetty, the dock.
Take me back to my childhood
Where I can dangle my feet
and thoughts can fly.
Turn concrete to sand and people to birds.
Cut the noise of the engine, and listen
to serenity.

Omg I miss living by the ocean too!!!
Wow now you made me miss it even more
but a great poet can make a reader feel anything!
This was very nice, I loved how you took everything from the city and replaced it with something nicer. This was very well done, I liked it a lot. Nice job, keep penning!

and thoughts can fly."
Why, it is wonderful being a child, isn't it?
