The House Beside the Sea

Arriving here at last at the house beside the sea Through open red gate we are keen to explore her Each room so unique with its very own persona Full of calming vibrations and her welcoming aura Charming works of art are displayed upon her walls With fascinating artifacts from all around the World Travel books galore from Bangkok to Cote d'Azur Transporting us to foreign climes - our stress is now unfurled We awaken every morn at the very crack of dawn To the beauty of a sunrise full of red and orange hues Such a glorious way for us to start a brand new day Standing on our balcony we catch the most spectacular view And then to the sea ~ her rock pools full of treasures Displaying each and every day her many shades of blue Upon the sands her daily ebb and flow creating sculptures As a string of her white horses comes galloping through Now we prepare to leave this stunning house beside the sea Many thanks are left behind from all the family So packing up our bags we bid our final farewell And vow we will return one day ~ my family and me 2nd September 2019 Inspired by a week away at the most awesome house – it was on the beach… Contest Strand Pick J Sponsor Brian Strand HONORABLE MENTION

So good to hear from you dear Jan, yes it was seven days of sheer bliss - to be so close to the sea was a dream come true and I wanted to move in, hahaha... I am already looking to book it for my birthday in March 2020. Hope you are well and I will catch up with your new poems soon. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
