Notes About The Poem

Pier Cove

The air was warm, the sky all grey
We laughed and joked, found lots to say.
With lightning stones held in each hand
We walked barefooted on the sand.
The rain came down, yet with a grin 
We hugged and kissed, drenched to the skin.

You've always told me that the best poetry comes spontaneously from the heart. Apparently, this one did. It would seem a cherished memory. Beautifully written. Congratulations on first place!
