Excited Much?


Can you tell that I am excited for the beach? Our term project for English is to make a portfolio of our poetry. Here are some of my beach/water poems.

Sand Dollars wash up on shore and are put in your bucket
Water washes up over your ankles and the sand sticks
Sandcastles are built and carried away by the tide
Laying on the warm sand to get a bronze tan
Rolling waves carry in ocean treasures
Starfish are sticking to the rocks
Seaweed tangles your toes
Roasting wood on the pier
Laughter all around
Smiling families
Salty smells
Beach

Dance is like water,
Moving with a flow,
And your body the stopper,
Running through the water.
When you stop dancing,
You become a human.
But when you’re dancing, you can become a different person.
You become anyone you want,
Water can become any color you dye it.


Baking sand that burns your toes.
Eating at Katy’s Café for breakfast.
Allowing money to be spent freely.
Caution for the sharks.
Happy, bickering free family vacation.
