Near the Ocean

Near the ocean I'd love to be. To have my house there would be sweet! I'd invite friends to visit me. A life like that – could it be beat? I’d not complain if there were heat. Be it near ocean or the sea, the water is a cooling treat. Near the ocean I'd love to be. I’d jump the waves and feel so free to feel soft sand beneath my feet. If storms arose, then I could flee. To have my house there would be sweet! Life with no friends is not complete. Picnics on shore I’d guarantee. What awesome foods we all would eat. I'd invite friends to visit me. We’d wake to ocean’s breeze; then we would find smooth rocks used for a seat. We’d have good times; don’t you agree? A life like that – could it be beat? I do not need a hotel suite. I'd rather have my own palm tree to look out on. That would be neat - a great stay-cation lived with glee near the ocean! March 19, 2023 for Joseph May's Double The Fun Poetry Contest
