POEM|A Day At The Beach

POEM|A Day At The Beach

I stand at the beach 
Sand in my feet

The sun is shining bright
It’s such a beautiful sight

I stand at the beach
Water over my feet

The sea is glowing blue
Ocean waves splashing too

I sit at the beach
Enjoying a wonderful view

Beautiful kites in the sky
Ice cream trucks passing by

I walk on the beach
A cone in my hand

The ocean breeze misty and cool
Sandcastles high and tall

I swim at the beach
Cold water on my skin

The saltwater in my mouth
Having fun without a doubt

A day at the beach
I wouldn’t have missed

Smiley faces everywhere
I always love it here

  2. Such a sweet, fun poem. Felt so light reading it.

    1. Thank you 😊 that’s exactly what I was going for.

  4. This poem has me desperate to go to a beach now! You are very talented and I LOVE your outfit! The hat especially. x

    1. Thanks Laura you made me write a happy poem. Thanks for inspiring me to. I haven’t been to the beach in such a long time but it’s one of my favourite places in the world. By the way, that’s my sister S, she’s such a fashionista.

      1. A few weeks ago people confused me for my sister and I thought – how on earth can they think that is me?! I guess it is easier to do than I thought! It means a lot that I inspired this poetry though.

        1. I took this photo and suggested the pose that’s probably why😬. I wrote two sad poems while working on this. Thanks again
