Beach Day

 (original poem 1- sonnet)

The ocean waves crash

Roughly against the shore

Rocks tumble and smash

There is silence no more

Crabs scuttle through the sand

Seagulls search for their prey

Children run, fall and land

It is just another beach day

Ice cream falls and babies cry

Lifting rocks, poking holes

Kites soar and frisbees fly

People smile, happy souls

Families clean up and leave the beach

Nature is a lesson no school can teach
