On Brighton Beach

Tents of various colours in parade across the sands It's summer time in Brighton as the sun beams down so grand Families too many to mention, on blanketed abound Whilst laughter resonates from the children all around Even nature has her say as the waves caress the shore Just like yesterday, and so many years before Gliding terns and seagulls grace the thermal flow As they anticipate the pickings that present them down below Rock pools gather attraction, a learning call for the young Explained by thoughtful parents, of how we all began Sails of shapes and sizes appear against the blues Boats and ships aplenty in sailing tacking cruise My day now nears it's end, on this wonderful Brighton Beach So many joys surround me, I'm so thankful their in my reach

What a beautiful description of Brighton Beach, James. Would love to see those "rock pools," but in other respects it sounds much like the cheerful beaches families visit here. Now I challenge you to write about a "terngull." LOL Enjoyed your poem! Love, Carolyn
