The Gulf of Mexico

The Gulf Of Mexico Velvety white beaches as far as I can see Nothing much grows right here but yes, there's one palm tree The sand it was so fluffy like powdered sugar sweet It felt like giant pillows underneath my feet The water is so salty and it feels very soft Birds are dipping in to fish then continuing aloft As the sunlight sparkled across the open sea Like diamonds that are dancing in perfect harmony A big wave came right at me I thought that it would pass To my shock and amazement It knocked me on my *ss Now this is a true story I know it to be so This is how I spent my day on the Gulf of Mexico.

Thank You Heidi :) I wasn't really sure how some here would accept the humorous part since I wrote a poem I thought was humorous and only got one comment. (Maybe it wasn't understood by many?) but I wrote as I remembered and this - well, it IS what happened, so I wrote it. Fun !!

Hi Darren ! Thank you, it really was very lovely there. I have never seen powdered sugar sand like I experienced there. I would love to go again someday, but there are so many places to see :)

A nice scenic and beautiful poem with a touch of humor. I could see this clearly my friend as the coast I get to enjoy is on the Gulf of Mexico. It is everything you have described, including that one wave that catches you off guard. Really nice Lenna

I seemed to have accomplished exactly what I tried to. That wave really was a surprise as the others just washed over me, that one was a bit more fierce !! Thank you as always for your generous comments and valuable support my friend :)
