Life’s A Beach (My poem and pics)
(Photos taken by me)
Twas the last days of Summer,
and I had a plan,
to go catch some rays
and lay on the sand.
After finding a spot
right on the shoreline,
I got myself ready
to lay back and unwind.
Ahhh, the cool breeze,
the warm sun on my face,
as I take in the sights
of this beautiful place.
The waves approach shore
so foamy and white,
but can sneak up on you, too,
like a thief in the night.
As they crash upon you
while you’re standing on shore,
the rush of excitement
makes you come back for more.
Although this is fun,
it starts coming to mind
as with all things in life
there’s an alternate side.
Like wait, what the heck
just crawled onto my toe?
On second thought maybe….
I’d rather not know.
And sunscreen, I must
constantly reapply
for if not, my skin
in no time will fry.
While surrounded by people
all bronzed by the sun,
a tan made of freckles
is what I’VE begun.
And seashells, though pretty
when in one solid piece,
once broken up small can be
sharp on your feet.
So farewell to you Summer,
as you draw to a close,
life sure can be”a beach”…
but that’s just the way that it goes!
Not much into poetry, but the beach pics are very good.
Fun! Your toes cracked me up. Soon enough beach season will be over… 😉
you’ll get the fetishists demented with these pics hahahaha poem’s funny.I like the style
Loved it. Loved the poem. Loved the photos.
Love the beach…
Damn I want to go to the beach…
Nice pics and very cute poem! 🙂 Summer’s awful nice. It took so long to get here for us, that I’m really appreciating it this year. We took the horses up into the hills today. They (the horses) did so well, and the mountains stood ruggedly beautiful in the last, golden rays of the sun.
Then Jamey and I decided to trade horses. When he attempted to mount, the saddle slipped sideways and down he fell onto the hard earth. The horse, though, stayed solid thankfully, even though his clothes were on side-ways and he spooks easily. Jamey’s sore but in one piece. Life appears to be a paradise, but then reality (this time in the form of the earth) strikes you with a hard blow and brings you back to your senses!
