Seaside

Oh how I love going to the sea
The sights and sounds make me feel free
The smell is like no other scent
Exciting and new
I feel it is almost heaven sent

A walk on the sand
Is very different from land
Gentle crunching beneath your feet
Wet and sometimes dry
On it you can lie
Moving and yet supportive
Cold and sometimes hot
Lovely to experience
Go on give it a try why not

Shells on the beach
Tell their own story
Some big some small
I am intrigued by all
There are those you can put to your ear
Guess what
The sea you will hear

Different flora and fauna you will find there
Cockles and mussels
Seaweed and crabs galore
The list goes on
There is so much more

The sea itself
Depending on where you go
Will differ in ebb and flow
Some tides are gentle little waves
Others crash to the shore with a roar
Beware of the currents
Signs may say
They can carry you away

The seaview
Very new
Sometimes nothing on the horizon
It is hypnotising

All this and more combined
What more can I say
A magical place to play
