Edward Ibeh Poet Dizain

Notes About The Poem

Washed Ashore

Washed ashore, fond memories of old;
       ours, as I stand, looking out to sea. 
    Recollections worth their weight in gold. 
    Abound, images my mind's eye can see. 
     Entranced; playfully carefree were we! 
    Footprints we used to stamp in the sand
 as we walked by the shoreline, hand in hand. 
  What fun we had splashing in the shallows! 
 Thanks for memories so wondrous and grand. 
 They sing in my heart like summer swallows!
