Beach Day!

ocean boulevard

down by the beach 

where the seashells are my neighbors

and the seagulls come down to watch

where you pay the marking in quarters

so you come with pockets-filled 

and you tip-toe carefully 

and imagine the sand is lava

where you run without endless bounds

like the beach will never end

and watch the kites soar 

oh to have! 

the ocean eyes and sandy hair 

to be one with the ocean 

where the families come to play 


The author's comments:

This poem I write reminds me of my childhood and the days there until the sun came down. I hope others can reminisce about their beach days or being one with the ocean even if you don't have blue eyes or sandy hair; I sure don't.
