Coconuts Trophy Win

The pink sand makes my soft bed, a cool breeze covers me like a blanket. The palm trees are swaying, swaying to the sound of the blue waves. As I lay here daydreaming, I find shapes in the clouds. I see a coconut with a tall straw, a cooling coconut drink. I awake to a loud thud, coconuts are everywhere.

I want to thank you for reading, enjoying and commenting on my writing I love when I hear that people enjoy my writing. I also read quite a few of yours and I enjoyed reading yours. I am looking forward to reading more in the near future. Please look for more to come from me also, I am always writing something just not always posting them right away.

"Coconut" What a fun word to say! This poem made me smile & thirsty. It's fun to see pictures in the clouds. Cumulus clouds hide so many things, don't they? Your last 6 lines are my favorite. Your cool coconut drink with a fun straw sounds so refreshing. Maybe you'll see a blueberry lemonade next. I'll look for one. sip, sip..
