Summer loving at the Beach (acrostic)

Summer loving
Under the sun
Mermaids swimming in the sea
Memories, I can’t forget thee
Every night, walking on the beach
Raging hormones blazing in the heat

Laughing as  waves roll across our feet
Often found, singing out of beat
Very loud, screaming in the sun
Incredible bodies on everyone
Never forget the week I spent with you
Growing fond of a summer that, I never knew

Azure water crashing upon the shore
Tiny creatures crawling on the ocean floor

Trees blowing in the gentle breeze
Hot, sexy bodies that 
Everyone sees

Bikinis in so many varieties
Every size and color, some are empties
Always lying in the hot sand
Cheering for some music from another band
Hand in hand, We're sprawled out across the land 

Author notes

summer acrostic, try singing it, its almost perfect ♥

    In line 20 ...

    it would be "lying", not "laying" since you are talking about people, not things.

    Otherwise, not bad.

    Thanks for entering.

    Nicely done! I liked the stanza: "Azure water crashing upon the shore. Tiny creatures crawling on the ocean floor." Fair amount of imagery and a cool twist with the mermaid! Best of luck and thanks for entering!

    This is a really good poem. It does have a good beat to it. I did like it and it very well related to summer. Amazing job. I normally don't like acrostics. But you did this one good. The only thing I don't like is you didn't use puncuation at the ends of every line. I did like this. Amazing.

    This was very good. I'm not really a beach person, but I could feel the emotion in this one, and it even made me long to be at the beach. Very nicely done, good rhyme, especially for an acrostic. Thanks a lot for your entry.

    This is much better than your other acrostics, in my opinion. I can actually imagine this, since you give concrete examples of a day at the beach.

    "I can’t forget thee" -- I know you meant to rhyme, but "thee" feels awkward for two reasons: one, you don't use it elsewhere, and two, the style is hardly archaic.

    Often found, singing out of beat; Growing fond of a summer that, I never knew; -- commas are unnecessary.

    "Every size and color, some are empties" -- empties?

    I especially like the line breaks in the second to last stanza, and also the elaboration. This poem really makes me miss the beach. Is it imagery that's fresh, described in an original way? No. But it's you, and I cannot fault you for that.

    I really enjoyed this poem. Made me want to head to the beach. But I am not much of a beach person anymore. I like to go to the lake better. I enjoyed the read! Thank you for entering my contest.

    Wow, this is really beautiful.
    With the first read through, you can hardly tell it's an acrostic, and amazing feat.
    This is full of beautiful imagery and fond memories.

    ah you paint a picture well of the joys of sun and sand, walking hand in hand, across each golden strand,

    a summer love that's grown, from two who were alone,
    till autumn calls them home, with kisses blown through phones. I liked this poem a lot, good work is what you've got.~~~Artis

    This is really good. Reminded me of Greese. I don't understand one line.."Each one filled, some are empties" But I think it may just be over my head. A nicely written acrostic. Good luck in the contest.

    it is a nice acrostic, I am not fond of acrostics as I feel they prevent the writer from free flow of words and they tend to be choppy and cut off, so for an acrostic I have to say this is fairly well done nice job...
