Totally Optional Prompts: Beach Thoughts

Ocean Park Beach, Maine August 13, 2009

four men playing Bocce

two little boys
and two little girls
building a sandcastle

a taildragger
trailing a banner:
JIMMY GREEKS LUNCH BUFFET $7.99 11-2PM

a fog bank
sitting like an angora
elephant just offshore

my feet
sifting through
sand

the shadow of my pencil
on white lined paper,
beach thoughts
flowing through

    WOW!!!!
    That was a real good one..
    So you seem to have had a sunny, pensive day at the beach, I guess!!
    Enjoy and do keep writing like this..
    Feels like me sitting by the bench and rolling the words that flow from the scenes around within my mind..
    This was just beautiful!!!
    Keep writing..:)

    You really painted a good visual with words, I could see the sand and feel the warmth...
