A Day At The Beach by Chuck Keller Tuesday, November 07, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
Life is like a day at the beach. Grains of excitement and fun scooped into the bucket and, one by one, so carefully placed. Carved with a tiny plastic shovel into a castle for the Monarch crabs to explore later when we've gone. Ruling all they survey for a while. Tiny lines drawn in the sand by scampering crab legs as they retreat from the incoming tide. They watch their castle crumble. Outer walls first surrender and become the beach again. Then the structure is swished and washed away back to the sea. Time goes on. We rub lotion on our sunburn and get ready for another day at work. Our memories fade like the castle. Tides come and go in cycles washing, purifying, erasing as crabs scamper and sunburns heal. Life is like a day at the beach.

"A Day At The Beach" sings the ups and downs of the daily affairs, and does it poetically magnificently to stimulate ontological thoughts. In admiration, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

You forgot about hurricanes that destroy the beach,, and a few other of life's more unsavory parts, but all in all I liked the way you presented this poem. You optimism abounds and THAT is a good thing.

FANTASTIC WRITE. This is one of your best Chuck, by far. You literally take the reader to the sand so each little nuance of the day you describe is vivid and alive. Terrific. Michelle
