Notes About The Poem

A Summer Meeting

There, a quaint trattoria was near
We chose some bagels, sharp cheese and beer.
The waitress told us of a fine beach
Indeed it was quite within our reach.

Found the shore, the sea was calm that day.
It won't be easy to go away.
The yellow sand wet and clean, barefoot
We must never stumble nor stay put.
So many seashells adorned this place.
"I'll make you a necklace with true grace."

The sea billowed softly in and out
Should we have a swim or do you doubt?
We'll surf and dive beneath the deep waves
Search for some forgotten coral caves.

At last, we decided to leave for home.
Satisfied of our wandering roam.

Lovely Victor. I can see two people walking the shore, picnicking on the beach, enjoying the sand, sea and surf. It would indeed be hard to leave. Great job here with wonderful imagery. God Bless, JB

Nothing like a walk on the beach, Victor, add to it good food and a shell necklace, what more could one want! :)

WOW, this is the loveliest and nicest write I've read today; your well-chosen words create a pleasant song comparable to drum beats that soothe the soul, and the sense of your sandy golden beach and the tidal wave creates a whole landscape of tranquility and serenity. Blessings and regards dear Victor
