Long Cream Beaches

Walking, toes in the hot, scorching sand skin roasting in the sun. Ouch!! Broken shells cutting tender feet!! Ouch! Cool salty water, roughly hitting my legs Ahh! cool water soothing my skin Cold, cold sneaky wave hit me from behind Chill bumps creeping along my spine Skinned knees and face plant Where did that hard hitting wave go? Further out the waves are not so forceful Ahh!! Relaxing ebbing waves That is what I came here to experience!

Hi Doris..I appreciate your comment on my poem. I find it SO amusing that in our park in florida...the occupants all live next door to each other up north...They are seldom out of sight. As to your poem..I suspect it "might" be of florida also...where else do the bugs get roasted ? ha ! I liked it !

This poem of yours brings back my memories to white sandy beaches of Vanuatu. My Haiku "Screwpine" was inspired by my pencil-drawing on my facebook-album showing part of "White Sands"on Efate Island, Vanuatu, with lots of screwpines casting shadows on the coral sand. Thank you for your kind comments and have a great week!....Gert
