Day at the Beach

 

Safety swim shoes and sandals

Walking on the beach,

Some eel grass,  

beautiful,

vivid green,

sharp as a needle,

Bites without warning,

Over there, beyond the bluff,

we used to live,

years ago.

Snow ball trees bloomed,

Toboggans skimmed the icy shoreline,

Frozen cream lifted milk bottle caps,

Wood smoked,

Memories usually evaded

for peace of mind,

A mist is rolling in

over the wet sand

The last of ebb tide,

Chills down the spines

Turning back

to the shelter of the car,

Warm

Exhausted

A day at the beach

Recall a day trip with 

someone very special to 

you and write a poem about 

your activities and feelings. /
