Summertime crash

The sun SIZZLES on the scorched dry sand As he sits before me and brushes my hand He runs to the ocean to SPLASH in the sea He SHRIEKS with delight whilst he's looking at me The ocean it BABBLES a slow lilting song Its depths of bright turquoise can be heard SIGH along All at once there is RUMBLING as the sky turns to grey The pricking of goosebumps on a bright, CHIRPY day As the ocean retreats in a menacing way It pulls and it GROANS and it drags him away Up ahead in the shadows a gull CACKLES its joy As the loud CRASH of water takes hold of the boy The boy calls out to the crowd on the shore The laws of the ocean means the boy is no more
