To the beach I went one hot, hot day, In search of the cooling ice blue froth! Refreshment beckoned in the sea spray, And I lingered until skies turned mauve. In search of the cooling ice blue froth, I took a sunshine stroll to the beach, And I lingered until skies turned mauve. Often heart's desires are within reach. I took a sunshine stroll to the beach. The birds all sang of wild summertime! Often heart's desires are within reach. Happy hours bloom throughout a lifetime. The birds all sang of wild summertime, Refreshment beckoned in the sea spray. Happy hours bloom throughout a lifetime, To the beach I went one hot, hot day. Written on April 27, 2021 For: ALL YOURS (Apr 28) Poetry Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand

What a beautiful and perfect pantoum. I have often wrote i this style. You excel in your subject though. Incredible I have been thinking of writing a poem on the sea. Best for a win.
