Written: June 24, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ Soft waves embrace the clean seashore. Caressing the sands we once walked before. Leaving footprints imprinted on the land, A memory crafted by nature's loving hand The shore, a canvas of dreams, Where sand castles stand tall, it seems Guarding our secrets, our laughter, our joy Until the waves of high tide destroy Plovers dart on fleet feet, Spread out on the damp sand, the fleet With grace and precision, they dance and play. Adding life to the shore's enchanting display Pebbly and pure, the sand beneath our toes Soft, wet, and cool—a sensation that flows. Beige and tan, a palette of hues, The shore's gentle whispers—a symphony to amuse Whispers of the shore, echoing in the breeze, The love and memories that forever seize The tender tides, akin to kisses on the land, Caressing the shore with a gentle hand The smooth shore holds our footsteps dear. A testament to the moments we held near. Sandcastles stand guard, proud and strong. As the tides rise and sing their song.

I grew up in Tampa Bay and spent countless days and hours on the bay area beaches. Every line takes me back, especially @ the sand castles but I was lost over "Plovers" until researching and finding...little birds, of course! Once again, Well done & thx for taking me home):

Dear Poet, Thank you for taking me to the ocean this am. The imagery is outstanding in this write of yours. I used to live so much closer than this to the shore. I hope you send this poem to environmental groups to use so we can get serious about protecting our ocean. Enjoyed

Words so ornate and beautiful my friend--evocative of pleasant memories treasured in hearts and minds. Much enjoyed the rhythm and flow of your poem, Lasaad.

You describe the beach with a flourish, Sotto. Who would not wish to build sand castles? Perfect imagery, vocabulary and rhyme.

I can feel the sea breeze through my hair as I take in that familiar scent wafting from the foaming salt water as it relentlessly comes and goes. Your poem brings every aspect of walking on the shore of a wonderful beach to life. Enjoyed it so much.

You are so versatile and your rhyming is perfect. The sea strand is so alive and the whispers of the waves are so audible. Enjoyed your lovely narration.
