If you want to read some more poetry, Diane and Mimi of
Messymimi's Meanderings write wonderful, funny,
thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and
read.
Karen of
Baking in a Tornado
has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month -
may we hope for more!
SpikesBestMate
often publishes a nice verse in the comments, and helps out at topic
supplying.
Jenny at
Procrastinating Donkey
who has been a faithful participant, is taking a break due to her husband's recent passing from
this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of
prayers her way.
I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the
poetry of others, would you please leave a comment. Half - if not more - the
fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
It is not yet time for going to the beach. It is cold frost is promised for tonigth.
But we live near the beach, and when / if the summers are warm, we love it there. I'm not sure this verse is very meaningful. But it's what I could do.
On our beach are loads of sand.
And icecean if so we demand.
And water, wawes and lots of stones
And egss of sharks and fishes' bones.
We splish and splash.
We hack and slash
At seaweeds in the shallows.
On our beach are sun and rain
These days will never come again
With sunlit waves and lots of fun.
The days pass not, for sure they run.
And to the shore
We go once more.
Today I saw a swallow!

It is too long since I have been to the beach. Any beach. Rock pools and the scent and sound of the ocean are things I particularly miss.
SvarSletI liked your poem a lot.
I also like your poem a lot, Charlotte. You have packed so many images into just two verses. I could do with taking lessons from you in brevity (Keep it Short!).
SvarSletBeautifully done.
SvarSletCharlotte, this is perfect! You've managed to convey both the joy, and the fleeting-ness of days at the beach! Wonderful!
SvarSletThank you all. I am behind in writing and commenting alike. Hopefully the Words for Wednesday will speak to me soon.
