Alone At the Beach - It

I sit alone in this house near the shore Restoration and peace, myself to reach. They told me of the psycho cat’s demise What a relief it was to hear of that. That horrific cat, it would hiss and spit Waiting to pounce on and claw passers by. Now I have some me time and will be fine The label I hide on the wine bottle. Sabbatical dreams after quarantine I lived life on edge and was sleep deprived. I now sing and dance, hoping for romance The happiness I have yearned for so long. There’s no finer place than beside the sea To aid oneself in acquiring full health. What is that I hear, now comes back my fear Eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sand beach. 22nd September 2020 * Collaborate With Me Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kim Rodrigues Words in bold print written by Kim Rodrigues.
