The sea dazzles and sparkles before my eyes
The reddish, yellow sun sits high in the sky making a sparkle to my day
The seagulls squawking above my head like a never-ending debate, planning to steal my fish ‘n’ chip tea
White island looming deep out at sea like a whales arching back*
I imagine the St Clair soldiers marching down the sand the poles are a reminder of those how fought.
Wind, and the rain *
might drive you insane *
But the views high up on those on those rolling hills, is enough to calm a tiger
The esplanade is busy attracting people to its amazing café’s begging people to come *
The dunes and views are never the same
The creatures are the things that make the eco-system complete
The cute little seals riding the waves
If you are lucky you might see frisky penguins bounding about
Dogs galloping up and down the beach never stoping for a breath
Seagulls flying high in the sky
Sand hoppers never stop hopping
The salty smell filling your nostrils
The sandy taste fills your cheeks
Hear the waves crashing on the sand
Look at the amazing view
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Olivia! That is one stunning poem. I love the WOW words that you have used... They give real imagery to the reader. I can picture all the places that you write about very clearly. I wonder if someone who is not from St Clair gets the same images? You could think about including some photos to support your text. Photo Peach or Voice Thread would be great tools for publishing a poem of this calibre!
ReplyDeleteKa pai, Olivia!
