Best Seashells Poems

The sun washed sands along the beach
hid ocean gifts in drifting swells
and tides would wash within my reach
a bounty of abandoned shells.

I'd walked those shores in search of all
the endless wonders I would find,
collecting trinkets, I recall,
held by the shifting sands of time.

My endless search...

Like Easter eggs and seashells,
I collect them
scattered dubloons in gypsy gold
Brushstrokes of verse by hands more able
to decorate, and brighten
My barren table

Bountiful fruit from other fields
As smiles compel, 
As lament heals
They are the beauty I borrow
The flowers I water

They are gems of titian embers
The ascension
Of...

Over the ocean
          Pages of the story fly
     Like birds above the sailboat

The hiss of the sea,
From the hollow of a shell;
Soft ocean whispers....

Seashell Symphony,
On ear, rhapsody playing.

While walking in the white sand by the seashore,
The seashells were many.

I liked collecting them,
There were shells of all shapes and sizes.

I was given a lovely shell,
Beautiful blue and green.

I collected shells of all shapes and sizes,
You could have a sand dollar which brings you...

Last night I had a dream
I was walking on a beautiful beach
Watching the ocean, all by myself
I was collecting seashells...

All shapes and colors
Beautiful, shiny ones
They made me think of you
And how your eyes reflect the sun

Suddenly I felt you hand
Slowly grabbing mine
Your presence enveloping me
Filling...

The seashore is seldom silent,
never mourning nor forlorn,
for relentless waves 
called on the roll, roar in.

The play's cast of waves
cheered on by the wind,
stand up, 
break into applause,
take a bow
and curtain call 
together.

Whooping with delight
they crash, splash,
hiss and fizz,
peal endless
in crescendo swishes....

Seashells are pretty
They are very colorful
Can be found at the seashore
By the sea
Walking by the beach
There,  they show
For our very eyes
As waves lapping come and go,
With the ebb and flow.

Sister Susie sits shelling shellfish in summer
Shelling shellfish sister Susie sits
Shellfish scent secreted on Susie’s sundress…
Sadly sister Susie stinks!

It was almost like a summer ritual
To prance along the brightened shores  of grain,
When balmy trees wafted as usual
Aunt Em’s hut glazed nearby lakeside's terrain.
Waxed seashells rose like buffed pods on the ground,
Dotted and curved, echoing of hummed waves played
As we gathered them on...

The tide weaves and wends
its' way among the pier posts
where I will dig for tiny
shark's teeth and whelks in the sand;
I love making genuine oceanside jewelry.
