Notes About The Poem

Contest: Write a beautiful Terza Rima, sponsored by Constance La France. Written 4/12/26.

A Walk Along the Seashore

"At the beach - time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted." -T. S. Eliot

It's a beautiful day at the seashore
To explore the beach on this warm day
As I walk along, hearing the ocean roar

Children are out and about at the beach to play
Seagulls are flying nearby and squawking about
Parents are out guarding, keeping them away

A whale is spotted spraying from his spout
A site seeing cruise ship stops to watch the show
While some children excitedly scream and shout

I walk along the path, where the sweet roses grow
Until I reach the hidden ocean cave
With tide pools of crabs and shells to bestow

A Seal is beached while wetted from a wave
This relaxing beach adventure is what I crave

Very enjoyed read! Beautiful description! It encourages me to go to the beach and have a good time. It's been a long time since I've been to the beach, several months. Blessings dear lovey sweet cool Tania!

You made me remember when my husband and I walked the beaches of the Oregon Coast. So beautiful. Your poem is perfect for Constance contest. I enjoyed reading your poem. Thank you for visiting my poem today, and hugs for your kind comment.

My favourite place to be Tania, just sorry I don't live on the coast because I'd be there everyday. Tom
