A Day at The Beach

"A beach day is a magical day." - by poet

It’s a warm and beautiful day
Not a cloud in the sky or any grey
As my bare feet touch wet beach sand
My blanket’s now out where I want to lay

The waves are magnificent and grand
Crashing the shore loudly like a rock band
Seagulls soar and cry as they try to score
Agile as they scrounge the sea and land

Sounds like a trance as the sea starts to roar
Scents of roses waft along the beach shore
The sun casts rays upon the dark ocean
Suddenly dark clouds appear, rain may pour

Thunder cracks, gulls fly off in commotion
The ocean now dark swells in brisk motion
My peaceful beach day has come to an end
But it remains like a magic potion

Ahh you did this beautifully. Just saw your blog . I hope you recover quickly. I had hip surgery in the fall. It's so nice not to limp any more. My husband has terrible back pain, so I really feel for you. Thanks , by the way, for my win. I want to read your winners. I love when sponsors give short poetry form challenges. Thanks for that too.

Great creative work, Tania. I've never been a beach person, but my respect for the depths and the power it holds is epic.
