What I See- Nursery Rhyme

I see gulls gliding in the air. I watch them landing down in pair. All around me is the sea. I see waves beating on the shore. I hear them gnarl and roar. I see Dolphins in the vast expanse. I see them swim and dance. I see ships sailing over waters wide. I watch them quiver and glide. I see shells strewn on the beach. I pick up all that is within my reach. I see children of my age sit and play. Occasionally shouting ‘hooray’! I see with every wave, a jet of spray. They drench me as they come in sway. I see waves rising high. They seem to reach up to the sky. All around me is the sea! _______________________ March. 29.2023 ~ Placed First~ Children Sing to Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsor- Eve Roper

What a wonderful picture of a day at the beach in song and rhyme Valsa! Your words bring back so many wonderful memories of summer days at the ocean or lake! You do have such an amazing ability to put me right in the middle of your picture! I do love it. Makes me feel like a kid again looking for shells, wading in the water and feeling happy sunshine sweet friend. So wonderful to see this delight on the winners list. Almost time to go to the beach! Congrats andEaster blessings!
