Notes About The Poem

A Perfect Day At the Beach

  At eight I wanted to see the ocean,
    I had seen many a lake;
  River, mountain, valley and high canyon,
    So for our summer break;
    We visited Long Point Beach,
    A beach with a projecting reach;
I was going to see Cape Cod's big waves,
    The white sand was windswept;
    Huge waves hard to accept,
Breaking with foam, each hollow and concave;
    I will never forget,
    The spray and getting wet;
The power, the beauty, the magic scene,
    Now, the ocean I have seen.

James Peranteau May 11, 2015 at 10:23 AM I felt that refreshing cool dear poet with this write ! I'm the certain fellow that you had a pleasant visit. As for me, though I spent my late teen to my early twenties beach bumming, I am wonderfully content being the predial soul, an outdoorsman by nature, rustic. I've been this way as a child, and will die this way. I have siblings and children who remain ocean lovers. Whodah thunk it ! *smiles* Have a wonderful week Constance.......much love, james
