The Beach
With eyes wide open
Standing on the beach
Waves trickling along the sand
Just out of reach.
Taking one step forward
Then another one
Running back so quicky
Beginning to have fun.
Shoes and socks are off now
Sand between the toes
Venturing a little closer
Confidence grows.
One more step closer
Foam tickles the skin
Just one last step
and finally in.
Kicking up heels
Splashing water everywhere
Jumping and squeeling
Breathing in sea air.

until next time
lots of it

Hi Friend! Thank you for your comments and for entering the giveaway - I want you to know that I put those Mother Goose pages in there just in case you win . . . I'll be out of town this week but look forward to seeing what you do for today's Monday's Child! Me xoxo
love these poems..this really captures the seaside
You captured the feel of the picture to perfection here. If it's only your second attempt a writing childrens' poetry, you should feel justly proud of it. :)
