Poetry Monday :: The Ocean or The Beach

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!
