Save



The Beach Dark foggy night embraces dawn, a salty smell Stars struggle to pierce a silent mist Sea snakes emerge and wiggle up a sandy ramp To catch a frog or two Morning dawns Low-tide mirror, gently rippled Joggers leave footprints in wet sand A lonely fishermen pulls a net Gentle morning sun, the tide is back Moms descend with their naughty spoiled kids To build sand castles and splash around Scrambled eggs breakfast is over Blazing sun at noon Glimmering emptiness, a lazy heat Some enthusiasts push their boats in the surf Time for a good margarita Afternoon mellows Joggers and swimmers are back Gentle breeze in the palm tree The bar is filling up Night is falling Fisherman inspect their nets Where music and waves merge Lovers embrace Midnight emptiness The last drunkards have staggered home A lonely beach belongs to the spirits As a yellow moon sets afar � 2005 by Franz L Kessler

I love this ode to the beach, Franz. Beaches truly are many things to many different people and creatures. This poem also makes me want to hop on a plane and head down to the Pacific coast of Mexico - I can already smell that lovely sea breeze - and taste that first margarita - Aah!

Quite vivid, very well composed, Franz. I could almost hear those ocean waves.
