Beach Poet

Arm over arm, I glide my body through warm, glistening water near the beach. No harm can come here; Sun’s my lucky charm; my skin and hair are soaking in its glow! When I go back to my towel, I sink ten toes into the sand, warm summer bliss. Then I grab my bag, and I pull out pen and paper, best tools for a day just like this! For Rick Parise's Lento Poetry Contest

Andrea the imagery here is so vivid, i picture you there on the beach walking, soaking, to your towel and you are a goddess of golden dreams, only wish they would come true... love this poem...

NICE! Tomorrow I shall hit the Beach! Why does your poetry inspire me to DO STUFF? Not weird stuff...just Stuff like read about my phobias and go to beaches??? Tell me Andrea, are you some kind of Soothsayer or augur or something? Ok. I'll stop with the imbecility before you start accusing me of recreational drug use again...like the last 5 times I left you pothead prototypical comments. I DID NOT Inhale--- B.Clinton

Lots of ideas to write about at the beach and in this sizzling heat it's where we need to be. I love your verse and the picture you paint

I'd like to join you at the beach - been sizzling up here in MIchigan. Can't be any better place for inspirtation. Hey! a new word. I was going to erase it, but I like it - inspirtation. The "pirt" kind of gives the word a lift in addition to its meaning. Anywho, The beach is great for inspiration. You never have any trouble. Love, daver
