Susie's Sunny Summers

Susie Smith spent several summers swimming salty seas
Surfing seemed safer than slippery slopes on snow skis
Until susie was swiftly swallowed by swells of super size 
and several sand sharks startled her in a shocked surprise
Susie Smith still spends sunny summers on sandy shores
shooing away seagulls that steal her scrumptious smores
Susie searches for sea shells and starfish in shallow shoals
squealing as sudden summer squalls soak her as she strolls

Fabulous use of alliteration, Jenna! The sand sharks may startle us, but they do us no harm. I'm terrified of some sharks, so I usually don't swim in the ocean. Wishing you success in the contest as well as a wonderful new year! Hugs, carolyn

I have no fear of sand sharks either, but it's the biggies that I stay away from It's their ocean! Thanks for the wel wishes for the contest and New Year, Carolyn, and I wish the same for you.

Simply put, Susie Smith Certainly Sounds Solidly Sain. Senseless sentiments seem unnecessary Since Science Sets the Scene for the Same sort of solute of solitude, a solvent of the servant's heart. I Like it.. LOL

It was such fun to write this one, Jan. I had 4 lines, then thought of something....and then something else, so I made myself stop before my tongue became so twisted that it might have fallen off! Thanks for you support.
