Poem Form (Sonnet) Inspired By William Shakespeare

I've heard people say that they don't like

The feeling of sand stuck to their skin

I can't relate to that for a minute of time

Without it I wouldn't know where I begin

You see it started a long time ago

When as a child in Miami I did spy

It didn't take me long to know

The ocean scene touched me deep inside

The rising of the golden sun

The constant of the changing tide

The dolphins gliding as if they were one

Magnified the feeling of being alive

So give me sand between my toes

And no obnoxious tourists while I sit here in repose
