Perfect Day

seagulls screeching
toddlers splashing 
waves crashing 


mermaid watching 
jelly fish catching 
sea weed pulling 


 coral stones diving
sea shells picking
crab chasing

a sun-kissed day
sand drenched play
a perfect day




Author's Note:   This fun post is for Poetry Jam (as you can see my muse is frolicking at the beach).  The challenge is think about your favorite summer sport and write a poem about it. It could be ANY sport, at any time of your life.    


Growing up, summer meant swimming and lots of beach days.   I am not good in swimming though because I spent a lot of time collecting shells and mermaid watching.  :-)

    I used to love being at the beach when I was a little girl.
    I still do and miss it!
    Loved this!
    Wonderfully captured!

    This washes over me like a wave breaking on the shoreline. I like this poem, and can very much feel myself there.

    I welcome anything in story or prose that gives me a little further glimpse into the mystery that is you.

    Thanks for dropping by today, I've been woefully lacking in my blog visiting of late.

    I wish I were there now instead of overheating here in the suburbs!

    Few words, but you capture the essence of all that's going on at the beach.

    Lovely! I can hear the ocean waves and feel the hot sand between my toes as I read your poem.
