Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I love the beach, unfortunately I don't have too much time to get their anymore. But the smell of the ocean and the sights we see can make for a very enjoyable afternoon. I hope none of you woman get offended by my last line in this poem I had to come up with something that rhymed and that was a perfect fit (lol). Thanks for reading....All the best

The Beach

You walk along the sandy beach 
And you taste the salted air 
You step on very tiny shells 
As the wind blows through your hair
 
The ocean splashes on your feet 
As your baking in the sun 
You see a ship in the horizon 
And children having fun
 
Surfers surfing atop the waves
 And swimmers swim and float 
Beach balls and sand castles on the shore 
And fisherman in their boat
 
Lifeguards whistling at drifters at sea 
And whistles at girls from the boys 
Pigeons and seagulls and volleyball players
Creating some of the noise 

Umbrellas, blankets, and burning tanners 
And musclemen flexing their chests 
Swimsuits, short shorts, and girls in bikinis 
Showing off some of their breasts 

Boardwalk walkers' walk into arcades 
And they play the pinball machines 
The teen-age gamers thinking they're cool 
Wearing their cut-off and fringy new jeans
 
Pizza slice vendors sell sausage and peppers 
With onions and fries on the side 
More vendors sell ice-cream and cotton candy 
And funnel cakes and zeppoli's- deep fried 

So, today or tomorrow maybe go to the beach 
Walk the boardwalk or just walk in the sun 
When you go to the beach on a sunshiny day 
No doubt- you'll get a tan and have fun!

Tom Cunningham July 11, 2018 at 5:58 PM A lovely rhyme Charlie, the beach is without a doubt a great place for inspiration to us poets. It's always facinates me, my first one was about an early morning walk on the beach. Tom Charles Messina July 11, 2018 at 6:07 PM Thank you, Tom! I will have to check out your other poem...It is a wonderful place to relax, write poetry and enjoy the sights and sounds that pass our way. Charlie

Vivien Wade April 16, 2018 at 7:43 PM Enjoyed your poem, loved the rhyme. I live 5 minutes from a beautiful beach in Adelaide Sth Australia, a suburb called Moana. And your poem could be describing it. Charles Messina April 16, 2018 at 10:08 PM Sounds like a beautiful beach...So glad you enjoyed it Vivien..Thanks for reading and your lovely comment...Cheers !!
