Notes About The Poem

POTD ~~ 11/3/2025

Atlantic Ocean --- POTD ----

"Morning arrives when the brilliant sun first kisses the Atlantic Ocean." By Poet

Once again the brilliant sun arose with a smile,
peeking over pretty water of blue.
                          For now the waves remain so calm,
                          a very quite and peaceful beach.
      Walking in sand leaving footprints,
      as the cool water licks my feet.
                                Overnight the Atlantic Ocean brings a gift,
                                scatters the sand with pretty shells.
                                Colors like a rainbow yet from the sea,
                                so many sizes to choose from.
                                As I walk picking up pretty shells,
                                people are starting to arrive.
Peaceful day is now filling up,
filling up with laughs~crying kids
                          Summer months where you can get burned,
                          being filled with very hot days.
I love the many winter months,
with the perfect daily weather.
Cool nights with warm days to enjoy,
the perfect Atlantic Ocean and perfect beach

Bj Legros Kelley November 12, 2025 at 3:21 PM Very discriptive, I can xisualize your walk on the beach, hear the sounds, wish I could feel the sand beneathe my feet as to water rushes in from the ocean and washes over. I miss the ocean. I don't remember the Atlantic Ocean too well, I was a baby when I lived in New York, but remember The Statue of Liberty a bit, which is so wonderful. My memories of the Pacific Ocean are what are much clearer in my mind as we moved to a home near the San Francisco Bay in the early 60's. I LOVE oceans! OOhhh!! I see this was a POTD!!
