Fort Myers Beach written by Mrs Yolanda Joy Nicholsen

The tides began to roll in, 
around four a.m, all was silent.
as the stingrays gathered, 
constantly, circulating the giant 
snails, all the while the docks 
shuttered and bounced behind, 
the pier while morning shellers, 
held on to straw hats, while grabbing 
the daily news, from vendor stands, 
bicycles lined estero entrance way, 
the gallantly, glowing red sun, begin 
to rise, the gulf of grandeur, comes clearly
into view, over looking the Caribbean Sea,
colors begin exploding, igniting painted
walk ways, swinging gates, through 
brilliant chimes, creating tropical 
melodies, where butterflies dances, 
as reptiles wink, the pink flamingos, 
dip their feathers into cool teal waters, 
while sinking beaks into soft sands.
